Ivanka Trump has been capturing her move to Washington, D.C., on social media this week.
The president-elect’s daughter took to Instagram to show her packing progress, reveal her daughter’s new room and pose next to her father’s inauguration cake.
Trump, Jared Kushner, and their three children will move into a 6,870-square-foot home in Kalorama, one of D.C.’s most expensive neighborhoods. The house, which features six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, is located just a few blocks from the Obama family’s new home. Here’s hoping for not too many awkward block parties.
