I don't like that it is in a pyramid but good work. I'd still get one.

Marine One lifted off at 9:49 a.m. Mr. Obama kept a consistently low profile through most of his vacation, punctuated by frequent outings for golf. He played at the Vineyard Golf Club in Edgartown, Mink Meadows in Vineyard Haven and Farm Neck in Oak Bluffs. The Obamas dined out at the Sweet Life Cafe in Oak Bluffs, State Road in West Tisbury and on Friday night at the Beach Plum Inn in Chilmark. Their Friday night dining companions were close friend and senior advisor Valerie Jarrett, and Chicago friends Alan and Sofia King.
Sarah Nixon said yesterday that the restaurant was given 20 minutes notice of the presidential visit, but the wait and kitchen staff rose to the challenge to serve up a memorable meal. They were rewarded at the end of the night, when the President himself requested group photos. “He was kind enough to take a picture with the people that make us look good every single day,” said Mrs. Nixon.
She declined to say what the President and his wife had eaten for dinner that night. “I served them a glorious Menemsha sunset,” Mrs. Nixon said, who reported that the Obamas had gone outside to take in the view and wander the property.
Inside, the President asked Mrs. Nixon’s 12-year-old daughter for advice on the menu. “Maggie, what do you like?” he had asked. She responded: “I like horseback riding,” which drew laughter from both families.
“He couldn’t have been more gracious,” Mrs. Nixon said of Mr. Obama.
The Obama vacation this year included plenty of family time — much of it at Blue Heron Farm, well out of the public eye, where there were reports of quiet reading and board games during a three-day northeaster that swept the Island in the middle of the week.
On Friday when the weather turned brilliant again — warm and sunny with low humidity — the Obamas went for a six-mile family bike ride in the Manuel F. Correllus State Forest in Edgartown. This year, the President wore a helmet, a fact noted by the detail-oriented press corps that covers his every movement including while on vacation.
