America’s First Family celebrated Father’s Day early. Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and their daughters visited two national parks: Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico and Yosemite National Park in California, according to a report in the Conde Nast Traveler.
This was Obama’s last Father’s day during his tenure at the White House.
The family made the trip soon after it was reported that more than 305 million people visited national parks in 2015, setting a new record. President Obama is responsible for conserving more land and water in the US than any other president in history.
This has to be the perfect way to spend Father’s Day, and the weekend. Just look at this scene. You can’t capture this on an iPad or a flat screen, or even an oil painting. You have to come in and breathe it in yourself.Barack Obama
