Speaking at the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum in Washington, DC, on Monday, Vance recounted her children’s first experience in India. She highlighted their visits to iconic sites in North India, including the Taj Mahal, and their delight in tasting authentic Indian cuisine.
Asked about her India visit, she said, “It really was the trip of a lifetime for us. My children had never been to India, what with the pandemic and, JD’s entry into politics and all that. And so they’d grown up just knowing so much about this country, the stories. food, the relationships with grandparents and friends, but they had never actually seen it. So it was just sort of mind-blowing from their perspective. And then for me and JD, I think it just could not have been any more special. We had the opportunity to see some of the greatest sites in North India. We’re looking forward to our next trip and trying to get to the parts of the country where my family is from as well. And it just was sort of one hit after another, right. The most incredible food, the peacocks that we got to see, everywhere we went, getting to see the Taj Mahal in the morning and appreciate it as the sun was just sort of coming up and the cool skies and blue skies over in the background."
