Arriving at 6 p.m. for an early dinner, the couple dined for two hours on a menu designed especially for them, and by the time they exited at 8, they had some company, as a crowd of several hundred had gathered behind the police tape. One woman was heard shouting into a bullhorn, “Create fear and terror.” No one did.
But the date night didn’t stop when they left at 8:00 p.m. Upon arrival back to the White House, the couple strolled hand-in-hand across the South Lawn before retiring for the evening – no doubt to catch the tip-off for game seven of the Chicago Bulls’ play-off series against the Celtics.
Also dining in Georgetown this weekend: Gavin Rossdale, with thee-year-old son Kingston, eating lunch Clyde’s on Sunday. Rossdale was fueling-up before playing his his show at the 9:30 Club later that night. Wife Gwen Stefani and Kingston’s new little baby brother Zuma were nowhere in sight.
