President Obama stepped out of vacation mode briefly Monday to stump for Hillary Clinton at a private fundraiser in Chilmark. The event was hosted by Hank and Carol Brown Goldberg at their home off Middle Road.

The first week of President Barack Obama’s final Vineyard summer vacation as President followed in the vein of past visits: low-key and quiet, filled with familiar patterns.

President Obama and his family will vacation on Martha’s Vineyard again this year. The August visit will mark Mr. Obama’s seventh and final Vineyard summer vacation during his presidency.

The Obamas and Clintons were on hand to celebrate Vernon Jordan's 80th birthday Saturday. Earlier in the day, the two Presidents hit the links at Farm Neck.

President Obama and his family had a low-key start to their annual Vineyard summer vacation this week, balancing time at home out of the public eye in Chilmark with trips out for meals with friends. There has also been beach time — and for the President of course, plenty of time on Island golf courses.

Golf, dinner out with his wife, more golf. President Obama’s Vineyard vacation has been low key and mostly below the radar as he and his family begin a two-week-plus visit to the Vineyard. The Obamas arrived Friday night, a day earlier than planned.
