Obama family to begin their 6th holiday of the year

London, August 19 (ANI): The Obamas are all set to start their sixth holiday of the year, an 11-day sojourn in Martha's Vineyard.

President Barack Obama will be accompanied by his wife Michelle and daughters Malia, 12, and Sasha, nine, and are expected to stay at the historic Blue Heron Farm in Chilmark.

Bill Burton, the deputy White House press secretary, said that the US president was "going to spend a little time recharging his batteries" at the Massachusetts island ahead of the November midterm elections, reports the Telegraph.

"There will be some hiking, some time at the beach, some time at the ice cream store - all the sort of things you do when you're at Martha's Vineyard. You enjoy the people and the good food," Burton added.

He is also expected to work on his swing at Mink Meadows golf club in Vineyard Haven and to work out every day, as he did when the First Family visited Martha's Vineyard last year. (ANI)
