In this photograph, taken by Jack E. Kightlinger on December 18, 1977, Vice President Walter F. Mondale and Second Lady Joan Mondale host a dinner for President Jimmy Carter, First Lady Rosalynn Carter, and their family at the vice president's residence at the United States Naval Observatory. Among those in attendance were the president and first lady's son, Donnell "Jeff" Carter, daughter-in-law Annette Carter, and daughter Amy Carter. Vice presidents have traditionally lived at their official residence at Number One Observatory Circle since Vice President Mondale moved into the house with his family in 1977.
