Talk about a great summer vacation.
After kicking off the summer with a trip to Europe, the Obamas are taking the last month before school starts to show their girls more of America.
Last weekend, Michelle took Malia and Sasha to Philadelphia to learn about the founding of our country their father serves. The first stop was a visit to Betsy Ross’ house Saturday, with reports saying the youngest Obama had written a school paper on Ross and was eager to see where she sewed the flag. They also visited Independence Hall and Isaiah Zager’s Magic Garden mosaic/maze on South Street.
Then this Friday, the whole family is set to fly to Montana. They will visit nearby Wyoming’s Yellowstone National Park (home of the Old Faithful geyser) Saturday. They’ll then visit another national park, the Grand Canyon, in Arizona before heading back to Washington.
But the family won’t be here long. They’ll leave shortly after returning next Monday to spend a week on Martha’s Vineyard, Mass.
We’re sure the girls will be thankful to have Air Force One and not an old hot station wagon.
