She may be a First Daughter, but Sarah Obama is still a teenager and can't seem to tear herself away from her music - even for a rare family nature hike.

Sasha, 14, was spotted listening to earbuds as she, sister Malia and their parents ditched the White House - and the press pool - for an impromptu trip to Great Falls Park in Virginia on Sunday.

The unscheduled trip came after the White House had sent reporters home for the day, sending the presidential press pool into a temporary tumult about where President Barack Obama and the first family had gone.

'Obama abruptly left the White House about 15 minutes ago on unscheduled trip. Destination unknown,' tweeted Wall Street Journal reporter Byron Tau.

Reporters initially seemed to fear that the unscheduled departure was some sort of emergency, but officials apparently tipped them off to the president's destination as photos from the outing were soon filed.

The president greeted two eager children and took a selfie with an onlooker before starting along the woody trail. The 50-minute trek concluded as a light drizzle began.

The family's brief hike happened to take place during the National Park Service's National Park Week.

On Saturday and Sunday, the few parks nationwide that charge admission--such as Yosemite and Yellowstone--were open to the public free of charge as part of the celebration.

On Saturday, Obama spent his Saturday afternoon golfing at Joint Base Andrews.

The president's busy week ahead includes hosting Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan of the United Arab Emirates, and honoring the Ohio State University Buckeyes football team, the 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champions and the Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots.
