Hurricane Bill blew out in time for the Obama family to blow in to Martha's Vineyard for the president's first vacation since taking office.
The first family began their vacation Sunday just hours after the National Hurricane Center lifted a tropical storm warning that had included the small island off the Massachusetts coast where the Obamas plan a weeklong break.
The hurricane forced the president to delay his departure from Andrews Air Force Base by a few hours to midafternoon.
During the flight from Washington to the Coast Guard station at Otis Air Base on Cape Cod, White House spokesman Bill Burton conveyed a message from Obama, who boarded Air Force One in khakis and without jacket or tie, to the reporters traveling with him. The Obama then were to take a helicopter across the water to Martha's Vineyard.
"He wants you to relax and have a good time. Take some walks on the beaches. Nobody's looking to make any news," Burton told reporters on the plane
