Michelle Obama, daughters move to Washington

Washington: The future First Lady Michelle Obama along with daughters Malia and Sasha has arrived here ahead of her husband Barack Obama’s inauguration as the 44th President of the U.S. on January 20.

Landing on Saturday evening, a day ahead of their scheduled arrival, the three checked into the posh Hay-Adams hotel. Mr. Obama is expected to fly in from Chicago, his home town.

The family is staying in hotel, instead of the Blair House, a guest house on Lafayette Park where Presidents-elect normally stay before inauguration, as the White House informed them that it was already booked and was not available. They came here some two weeks before inauguration so that Malia and Sasha can begin in time their classes at the prestigious Sidwell Friends School starting on Monday. — PTI
