It’s vacation time for many families, and the Obamas are no exception.

The US president, who just turned 55, his wife Michelle and their daughters Sasha and Malia took off on Saturday for a two-week break.

For their last summer vacation as the country’s first family, they chose to relax on Martha’s Vineyard, a famous resort island off Cape Cod in Massachussets.

The Obamas have spent every summer there since the president took office in 2009, except when he was campaigning for reelection in 2012. He’s typically seen golfing or going on bike rides with his daughters.

And it looks like the family is already preparing for a more normal life away from the White House. This summer, 15-year-old Sasha has a job on the island, working at a seafood restaurant in the town of Oak Bluffs.
