Obama Escapes Press Pack

In order to give his daughters some personal time at the water park, President-elect Barack Obama had to ditch the pool. The press pool that is. For the first time since his vacation in Hawaii began, Obama ditched reporters in order to take Sasha and Malia to Sea Life Park, a marine amusement park in the sparsely populated and scenic Waimanalo area. The Obamas watched a dolphin show and then picked up shave ice, a local treat. Obama ate a tuna melt, saying he wanted to set an example for his daughters by eating lunch before dessert.
