Former President George W. Bush celebrated a big milestone on Wednesday -- his 70th birthday.

Jenna Bush Hager celebrated her father's birthday by tweeting a picture of the 43rd president riding a bike down a hill.

Bush was born on July 6, 1946, in New Haven, Connecticut -- the eldest of six children born to former President George H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush. He was elected governor of Texas in 1994. In one of the closest elections in U.S. history, he won the presidency in 2000.

Since leaving the White House in 2009, Bush has made numerous trips to Africa to combat AIDS and raise cancer awareness. He has also became quite the artist: It was revealed in February 2013 that Bush had taken up oil painting as a hobby.
