"Thinking of two fathers I love dearly—the one who raised me and the one I married. Incredibly grateful for both. –mo," Mrs. Obama Tweeted on her @MichelleObama account.
Arriving on a sunny morning at the country club, the President was joined by local pals Eric Whitaker and Marty Nesbitt, and White House aide Marvin Nicholson for his 18 holes. CBS White House correspondent Mark Knoller, the unofficial White House record-keeper, noted on Twitter that the President's golf outing was his 100th round since taking office. The President was relaxing before heading to Los Cabos for the G20 Summit, his sixth summit since taking office. He remains there through Tuesday night.
The First Family arrived in Chicago on Friday evening, and the President and Mrs. Obama immediately paid a visit to the home of golf pal Nesbitt. On Saturday night, the First Family attended the backyard wedding of the daughter of Valerie Jarrett, Senior Advisor to the President. The First Family walked the one block to Jarrett's nearby residence, and the President and Mrs. Obama returned home well after midnight.
In addition to her Twitter message, Mrs. Obama also made a 3+-minute campaign video singing her husband's praises as First Father, which was posted at BarackObama.com. She discussed the importance of eating together as a family, among other topics.
The President departed Chicago en route Mexico aboard Air Force One at 6:36 PM local time, wearing a navy jacket, brown pants and no tie, after traveling by motorcade through streets lined with well-wishers. Mrs. Obama heads to Colorado and Nevada later this week for campaign events.
