Obama's on vacation
The first family settled in Sunday for their vacation on Martha's Vineyard not long after Hurricane Bill scampered away, leaving behind big waves and heavy rip currents for the Obamas. A tropical storm warning was lifted just hours before President Barack Obama began his first vacation since taking office. The hurricane forced him to delay his departure from Andrews Air Force Base by a few hours. During the flight from Washington to Cape Cod, White House spokesman Bill Burton conveyed a message from Obama, who boarded Air Force One in khakis and without jacket or tie, to the reporters traveling with him. "He wants you to relax and have a good time. Take some walks on the beaches. Nobody's looking to make any news," Burton told reporters on the plane. The Obamas then flew by helicopter from the Coast Guard station at Otis Air Base to Martha's Vineyard, and took a motorcade from the airport to their vacation home. Along the route, several people held signs, including ones that said, "Aloha Obama Family" and "Hope, Obama." Martha Vineyard is more that interesting place Obama family had nice time there. Michelle played tenis,Obama played golf and they all together rode bikes.
