From the presidential motorcade racing down Island streets to American flags on mailboxes and Secret Service outside golf courses, there are ample signs around the Island that President Obama is here, even if you don't actually see him. President Obama and his family arrived Friday, August 7 for their sixth Vineyard vacation while they have been in the White House; the First Family is scheduled to depart on August 23.
