As Donald and Melania Trump head to the White House, Barack and Michelle Obama head to Palm Springs for a post-presidential vacation. Obama bid his formal farewell to Washington after Trump's inauguration Friday, then addressed staffers at Andrews Air Force Base before taking off for good. “This is just a little pit stop," he said, per People. "This is not a period. This is a comma—in the continuing story of building America." (More Barack Obama stories.)
