Barack Obama and family ended their weekend Gulf trip with a visit to the local ice cream parlor. The Obamas then boarded the 50-foot Bay Point Lady the second and final day of a weekend getaway during which the President assured residents that his administration would not forget the region even after oil stopped spewing from a broken oil well in the Gulf of Mexico.
With first lady Michelle Obama and 9-year-old daughter Sasha beside him, Obama leaned over the bow of the Bay Point Lady to watch porpoises as their boat cut through the calm waters of St. Andrews Bay.
Back on shore, the family stopped for treats – mint chocolate chip ice cream for the president, Oreo ice cream for Sasha, and a hot fudge sundae without whipped cream for the first lady – before heading home.
