BAR HARBOR, Maine (AP) — President Barack Obama and the first family are headed home to Washington after their weekend vacation on the coast of Maine.

The president, first lady Michelle Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha boarded a small military jet serving as Air Force One and took off from the Bar Harbor airport on Sunday morning.

Their visit to Maine began on Friday. The Obamas spent much of their time hiking and biking in Acadia National Park. They also played tennis, went boating and enjoyed the food in the resort town of Bar Harbor.
