It’s 79 degrees and sunny here in Middle GA, and I’m going sleeveless today, so this is a perfect Saturday for me, weather-wise. I’m sort of preoccupied and worried about the events going on in WI, and I’m hoping the WI State Democratic senators don’t give in to Walker and the republicans’ demands. Rachel Maddow stated that it only takes one of them to cave, and return to the legislature, giving the republicans a quorum. I hope they’re taking heart by seeing how many citizens support them for taking this stance on Walker’s attempt to bust public unions in WI. Have a great weekend, Chipsticks and TOD bloggers!
VAIL, Colorado â First lady Michelle Obama is among the Presidents Day weekend crowd.
Obama arrived Friday night for a weekend of skiing in Vail and Beaver Creek, according to local sources.
A motorcade of about a dozen vehicles, including 15 state and local law enforcement officers, traveled from the Eagle County Regional Airport to Vail on Friday night, according to the Colorado State Patrol. Roads were temporarily blocked to make way for the motorcade in Eagle.
The motorcade entered an underground garage beneath the Sebastian hotel in Vail Village shortly after 9:30 p.m.
No stranger to the slopes
It won’t be the first lady’s first time on skis. She took daughters Sasha and Malia for a quick trip to Liberty Mountain Resort, in Carroll Valley, Pa., in February 2010. It was the first time on skis for the first daughters, according to Anne Weimer, marketing director at Ski Liberty.
During an interview posted by Liberty Mountain, the first lady was asked about some her favorite hot spots. Instead, she talked about a cool spot.
âWe discovered skiing. My girls had never been skiing,â she said. âWith a couple hours, you’re skiing.â
Ski Liberty is 60 minutes from the White House.
âYou can go from 60- and 50-degree weather to being on a slope. Not too many places in this country you can do that and still be at the seat of power. It’s kind of cool,â she said in the interview.
Obama has made health and fitness one of her primary causes, and skiing burns up to 400 calories an hour, ski-industry sources say.
Meanwhile, Vice President Joe Biden is spending the Presidents Day holiday weekend in the Florida Keys.
The White House says Biden and his wife traveled to Key Largo on Thursday night. The couple will remain in the Upper Keys through Monday.
No public events are scheduled for the first lady’s visit to Vail.
I am so jealous. Wish I could ski. Iâm happy for the Obama girls, and for the First Lady, too. You go, girl! Too bad the President couldnât go; I wonder does he ski. I’d like to see them both in their ski gear đ
Have a happy weekend all. The weather has been great here in Maryland except last night a strong wind blew in over the water and it has been kicking up all day.
I absolutely love our First Family! The President and his FLOTUS are so adorable. I could watch them interact with each other for hours. I also have loved seeing how they interact with people all over the world. They just seem so natural; like they have been doing this type of thing all of their lives. We as a nation are so fortunate to have people of their caliber representing our wonderful country.

They are 2 cute together đ
