They had their honeymoon in Mexico There kids where Lynda Bird Johnson; Luci Baines Johnson. How the two met? Ironic that Mr. president was on his way for another date: “Lyndon Baines Johnson was Lady Bird’s opposite in many ways. While she was short and demure, he towered over almost everybody. While she was calm and emotionally stable, he was prone to angry outbursts. Gregarious, ambitious and confident, Johnson bumped into Lady Bird on his way to a date with another girl. The charismatic future president leaned into Lady Bird and said, “Meet me in the dining room of the Driskill Hotel.” Lady Bird’s initial reaction was to say no; instead, she blurted out “Okay.” Within 10 weeks of their first date, Lyndon appeared at Lady Bird’s house in Karnack on November 16, 1934 and issued Lady Bird a marriage ultimatum. “We either do it now, or we never will,” he told her.

Lady bird’s main passion was trying to reduce the amount of junkyard’s and billboard’s in D.C. She commissioned thousands of flower’s and tree’s, including azalea bushes, dogwoods, cherry trees, tulips, and daffodils. Her main role inside of the White house, was Heading the National Head Start program! But after the Assassinations  of Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert Kennedy she spent much of her time trying to calm the country.
