Well, after his DOJ submited a court document equating gay marriage to incest---I think he will avoid Providence this year.

I'm sure it's as beautiful as it used to be. Probably more built up. But I used to go there in the 70's and it was romantic and charming...I also went during the off season. I lived on the mainland in Sagamore Highlands Mass. But MV is a beautiful place with bluffs and beaches and marshes and a lot of old charm. It's the epitome of New England island life.

Many prominent black families vacationed here and had homes in the 60's and before. Senator Brook of Massachusetts was one. Isn't it nice we've evolved even more since then. Of course judging by your post you were left behind in this leap by mankind. Hope your mind improves!!

This FF must be setting some sort of vacationing record. London, Paris, New York, Hawaii....the list goes on and on. And what are they are trying to prove by going to Marthas Vineyard? I guess only the most expensive and snobby places will do for them.

A one night date in NY on a Saturday night consistutes a vacation? Only Michelle and the girls went to London and Paris. Hawaii is the only vacation they have taken so far. Bush was on vacation a total of 3 years out of his 8 years. Get a life.

He was the President-Elect and still Senator Obama when the family went to Hawaii in December 2008; that will not count as a vacation while being president.

They do live in the ultimate home in the country !!! And exactly what do they have to prove? And who made you the Grand Vizer of the Vacations the President and His Family Takes???? President and Mrs. Obama are millionaires you know. And I think he probably gets "vacation and pay" with the oh so cushy job he has. Furthermore take a hike.

In five months, they've had one vacation in Hawaii for one week. Bush took 3 years in 8 years so Obama has a lot of catching up to do

When did the President and his family take a vacation to Hawaii? I hope you're not counting their trip in December to finally say goodbye to his grandmother, because he wasn't president at the time, although he was working as if he was.

Did they go to HI after he was sworn into office? Maybe it's just my memory, but I only remember the trip they took after the election.

Okay, they went there in August 2008.

September 2008 before the Dem Party convention.

December 2008, around Christmas.

He has not been in Hawaii since his inauguration. He's been to Camp David a few times, but most weekends he works Saturday and half of Sunday.

Indeed, I wish they would take more weekends off. He's got a long run ahead of him, and there's no sense burning out before the first quarter-mile mark.

The President is never on vacation people. The places might change, the scenery and views but he is never on vacation. He's always on call.

First of all that person was not truly a real president...he played at it. He took off more time proportionately than he actually worked in DC. Didn't his guy, Rove, tell our President not to work so hard? You're confusing work trips with vacations. This is President Obama's first real"vacation" Having his wife and daughters meet him in Paris was more or less a day off. So, stop eating those sour grapes they are taking a toll on you, really. Take a vacation!!

Presidents & their families normally take a whole month off a year, have weekends at Camp David, are waited on hand and foot 24/7 365. They take vacations. but they don`t NEED them. lol The ones who NEED them are they ones footing their royal type lifestyle.

If the NY tabs are right, Chelsea Clinton is supposedly getting married this summer in the Vineyard. I would imagine the Obama family would be invited.
