The First Family will be making a quick stop to Cape Cod on their way to a vacation home on Martha’s Vineyard.
The late change sparked even more activity and costly preparation for the first family’s sixth summer vacation in Massachusetts on the island famous for lobster ice cream, Chappaquiddick and former President Bill Clinton’s reconciliation with his family after finally admitting to having a “wrong” relationship with former intern Monica Lewinsky. He was leaving the White Home on Friday afternoon together with his spouse, Michelle, and teenage daughters Malia and Sasha, as an alternative of on Saturday as initially deliberate. He skipped a summer vacation during his 2012 re-election campaign.
He was returning to the same secluded estate he rented last year, a seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom property in Chilmark, on the western part of the island, and valued at $12 million, according to local news reports.
As usual, President Obama has no public events scheduled during his two week break on Martha’s Vineyard. The property’s facilities embrace a twin basketball and tennis courtroom. He interrupted his vacation to deliver statements to the press on three occasions in 2014-once to address the uproar in Ferguson, Missouri, once for the Iraqi elections, and once to address the beheading of journalist James Foley at the hands of Islamic State terrorists before returning to the golf course.
Obama has to be hoping for a more relaxed summer holiday. He also returned to Washington briefly for meetings.
