I understand. I wonder if the whole family is moving to DC. Or, will she commute? They are not going to get as much of mom’s times as they are used to having.

“I understand. I wonder if the whole family is moving to DC. Or, will she commute? They are not going to get as much of mom’s times as they are used to having.”

I’m not aware of a Vice President not residing at the Naval Observatory since it became the Official Veep residence.
Total speculation on my part, but I would imagine Piper and Willow would attend school in DC.

I also would speculate that the nebulous nature of the job of Vice President makes it more flexible when it comes to balancing scheduling issues.

Both Al Gore and Dan Quayle had minor children during their tenure and that seemed to work(Al Gore III notwithstanding).

If you haven't taken the time to check out the Vice President's quarters at the National Observatory Grounds, Lynne Cheney's video is very revealing. There is one huge room that has nearly nothing in it that will be a great play room. And the Staircase will be outstanding for Willow to walk down in evening dress. And perhaps Bristol and Levi can get married there. The house is large enough for the family and I doubt Todd Palin will mind being a Mr. Mom.
