Report: First Daughters Now Spring-Breaking on Idaho Slopes

Report: First Daughters Now Spring-Breaking on Idaho Slopes

Local Fox affiliate KMTV is reporting that the First Daughters, Sasha and Malia Obama, are vacationing on the ski slopes of Sun Valley, Idaho. 

Earlier this week, Breitbart News broke the news that the First Daughters were on a spring break trip in the Bahamas, with Secret Service protection in tow, despite staff shortages that the White House cited in closing tours to the public

The cross-continental trip for the First Daughters represents an epic tour. The KMTV news report cited photo evidence that the First Daughters were on the ski slopes, but noted that it was “unclear” whether First Lady Michelle Obama had accompanied them.

Separately, Breitbart News received a tip Friday morning from a parent whose daughter encountered the First Daughters in Sun Valley: “My daughter found herself in the middle of the entourage as she exited a local shop.”

Meanwhile, the White House remains closed to thousands of students traveling to Washington, D.C. over Spring Break. 

President Obama canceled the public, self-guided tours in a bid to trim $2 million from the Secret Service budget. The full cost of the First Daughters’ 2013 spring break travel and necessary security detail are unknown at this time. Presumably, the Secret Service costs could have covered at least a few weeks of public White House tours. 

Most people, if they have a spring break vacation, have to choose between the beach or the slopes. The Obamas, however, are not most people.

It is, apparently, good to be King.
