Former President Barack Obama was spotted in Hawaii on Monday.

The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports that the former president, who sometimes vacationed in Hawaii while he was still in the White House, ate dinner on Monday night at the restaurant Buzz’s Lanikai.


The newspaper reports that the former president, who was born in Hawaii, had met with executives in the tech industry earlier Monday in San Jose, California.

Since he left office, Obama has spent some time on vacation while he plans his next steps in his post-presidency, such as work on an upcoming book and his presidential library and foundation.

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story mistakenly stated that Michelle Obama had also been spotted in Hawaii.
