Michelle Obama doesn’t want jewelry or chocolates for her 50th birthday later this month. She wants to be alone.
President Barack Obama returned to Washington Saturday after two weeks of vacationing with his family in Hawaii. He left with daughters Sasha and Malia. Michelle stayed behind.
‘As part of her birthday gift from the president, the first lady will remain in Hawaii to spend time with friends ahead of her upcoming 50th birthday,’ the White House explained in a statement.
The First Lady turns the big 5 – 0 on January 17.
The White House did not say how much longer Michelle would stay in Hawaii or when she would rejoin her family in Washington.
