Everyone And Obama Kicking Back On Martha's Vineyard This Week
We have truly entered the family vacation portion of summer, what with last week's National Parks free day and the anxiety of squeezing in trips before Labor Day. Although President Obama, Michelle, Malia and Sasha have spent their summer traveling around the world and taking in various tourist sites, they have also been working all the while. Thus, it's even time for the first family to call it quits for a bit and head to Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts for some deserved rest and relaxation.
They'll even be renting a summer vacation home for the week-long break, but this isn't some cottage with a leaky canoe; it's the 28-acre, $35,000-a-week Blue Heron Farm on the island's southern edge. With the arrival of the Obamas, Martha's Vineyard has become the late summer celebrity vacation hotspot, as it's reported that the likes of Jay-Z, Beyonce, Oprah, Spike Lee, Pele (the Brazilion soccer star) and even the Clintons are also in town.
Since the island is accessible to daytripping boaters and those looking for a patriotic weekend getaway, the island's locals are churning out Obama souvenirs like it's Obamatown, USA. The Telegraph reports that "Obamarita cocktails and Bobama dog biscuits" are selling like hotcakes, and if the rumor is true that Obama will play golf with Tiger Woods, we can probably expect a whole new wash of golf tourists looking to play the famous links before autumn leaves begin to fall.
