Thursday finds Michelle Obama and her 9-year-old daughter Sasha visiting cathedrals in southern Spain. But the weekend after next (Aug. 14, 15) will find the entire Obama clan cooling their heels in Panama City Beach.
The trip comes after Michelle Obama visited Panama City Beach, and encouraged Americans to take a vacation to support the Gulf Coast economy, hurting after BP?s Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Many people challenged the Obama?s to put their vacation where their mouths were, and so, it appears, they are.
There are to be no political speeches or press events during the Obama?s weekend vacation, but during her July visit First Lady Obama noted the local legend that once you have the beach?s sand in your shoes, you have to come back. And it appears, in this case at least, to be holding true.
