KANEOHE BAY, Hawaii (AP) – How President Barack Obama spent the third day of his holiday vacation in Hawaii on Monday:

– EXERCISE: Obama arrived at Marine Corps Base Hawaii in Kaneohe Bay for a gym workout on a rainy morning. The island of Oahu was under a flood advisory, with heavy showers over the windward part of the island.

– HOMEBODY: The rain eased as the motorcade left the base and returned to the Obama family’s rental home in Kailua. Despite light showers, a few people stood along the road and waved and took pictures of the passing motorcade. A hand-painted sign near the security check-point entrance in the neighborhood read “Aloha Obama Ohana,” using the Hawaiian word for family.
