It wasn’t the vacation that they planned, but President Barack Obama and his family managed to enjoy  their Christmas vacation in the president’s native home of Hawaii.

As told by Mark Niesse of ABCNews:

President Barack Obama’s holiday vacation in Hawaii was filled with golfing, a luau with friends, and family excursions across the warm island of Oahu. The 11-day getaway was supposed to be low-key and relaxing but was frequently interrupted by news of the attempted Christmas Day bombing of a Northwest Airlines flight as it prepared to land in Detroit.

Still, the president and his family seemed to make the most of their stay on the islands where Obama was born and graduated high school.

On Sunday, the last day of his vacation, Obama visited the Honolulu Zoo with his wife, two daughters and friends after it was closed to the public. He briefly stopped at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, or Punchbowl, to pay his respects to his maternal grandfather, Stanley Dunham, whose ashes are interred there.

At the zoo, reporters asked the Obamas if they were ready to return to Washington. They all responded, “No!”

    I wouldn’t want to go back home either if I were the Obamas.

    I mean the whole East coast was experiencing that nasty snow storm the week of Christmas, so of course they would want to stay in warm and sunny Hawaii! lol

    The First girls are so fortunate to have a father who loves them dearly and has a father daughter relationship with them. It is the most wonderful experience a girl will encounter. As a result, the girls will know when a guy truely loves them or is merely infatuated.

    I cant believe how President Obama has aged so quickly and looks like he’s lost a lot of weight…

    Malia is getting taller by the minute and Sasha is growing up right before our eyes.

    I wish the first family nothing but the best but I wouldnt want to be under the stress and pressure of running this country. I hope they enjoyed their family time together during the holidays.
