WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama is heading back to his summer vacation spot of choice, the Massachusetts island of Martha’s Vineyard, a day earlier than originally planned.
Eager for a vacation, Obama is leaving the White House on Friday afternoon with his wife, Michelle, and daughters Malia and Sasha, instead of on Saturday as initially planned.
Obama plans no public events during the 17 days he will spend at a rented seven-bedroom, nine-bath property on the island.
It will be Obama’s sixth Martha’s Vineyard vacation since he took office in 2009. He skipped a summer vacation during his 2012 re-election campaign.
