"The Obama family will spend the last week of August vacationing on Martha's Vineyard. They've spent vacation time there before and are looking forward to relaxing together as a family at the end of a very busy summer. Additional details about the exact dates and location will be available at a later date."
Vacation planning for the Obama family has been in the works since at least April. The Boston Herald recently reported that First Lady Michelle Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha would arrive mid-August with the president coming to Martha's Vineyard a few days later.
