Rain soaks Obama’s Martha’s Vineyard vacation
OAK BLUFFS, Mass. — President Barack Obama and his wife are dining out for the first time since beginning a vacation on Martha’s Vineyard.
The Obamas sat down to dinner Monday night at The Sweet Life, a restaurant where they dined last August in their first summer on the island off Cape Cod.
Since beginning this year’s planned 10-day vacation last Thursday, the president has mostly kept out of sight — only leaving his rented compound for golf outings, basketball, a beach picnic and a visit to a bookstore. Except for the bookstore visit, the outings have all been private.
