Everyone knew of the Obama family’s day trip to the Gulf Coast. What everyone didn’t know is if the President would take actions to prove his reassurance of the region’s safety by actually taking a dip in the Gulf waters.
The official answer is yes. Yesterday, the White House released a photo of the President and 9 year old daughter, Sasha swimming in the Panama City Beach. However, according to the Associated Press, the Obamas swam off Alligator Point, which is in Saint Andrew Bay, not the Gulf.
Regardless of how and where the swim took place, the residents, politicians, and businesses of the region are relieved and delighted. This photo represents a stamp of approval for the rest of the nation who doubted the safety of the beaches.
Other than that newsworthy moment, the family spent much of their time at their hotel. They visited Lime’s Bayside Bar & Grill where they ate a lunch of fish tacos, chicken tenders, and burgers. Later in the day, they played miniature golf. They’re expected back in Washington this evening (Sunday).
