While the current occupant of the White House spent the weekend terrorizing a children's Easter party and tweet-storming the country to the brink of nuclear war, Barack and Michelle Obama happily absconded to the other side of the world to live their unfathomably cool best life. Given that they just endured eight years of bullshit and had to hand the reins over to a racist conspiracy theorist on the way out, they have, by any measure, earned every joyous minute of it.

Descriptions of the last first couple's latest vacation sound like a mad lib composed of the names of extremely rich and famous icons of a certain age: the Obamas have joined Tom Hanks, Bruce Springsteen, and Oprah for a leisurely tour of French Polynesia aboard a 450-foot megayacht owned by billionaire music mogul David Geffen. I did think he could possibly top kiteboarding in the Caribbean with Richard Branson, but here we are. From Travel & Leisure, reporting on the story that it was basically created to publish:

They went for lunch on Vanilla Island, made a stop at Le Taha’a Island, and will continue on to Bora Bora. The trip will end at The Brando, a luxury resort where Obama has stayed for the past three weeks while working on his White House memoirs.

You will be pleased to learn, though, that underneath the shiny veneer of this star-studded guest list and the breathtakingly beautiful untouched island paradise locale, President Obama is already gleefully embracing his inevitable transformation into your dad on every vacation.

Yes, that's the former President of the United States, dressed head to toe in his finest nautical whites, holding up an iPad and carefully making sure to get just the right amount of light in the former First Lady's island getaway glamour shot. We desperately wish we could have them back, but to be honest, we don't deserve them right now, and they look like they're having way too much well-deserved fun anyway. Carry on, beautiful friends. We'll be the ones standing outside your house holding up a boombox when you get back.
