The president and first family have arrived in Hawaii, for a 16-day vacation that’s become their annual tradition over the Christmas and New Year holidays.

While there’s no such thing as a work-free vacation for an American president, Obama will likely spend plenty of time enjoying the sun, lying in Hanauma Bay, hiking and biking with his daughters, and enjoying the local cuisine.

He’s also expected to play several rounds of golf as at the Marine Base Kanehoe. The White House says he plans to hold no public events. It will be the Obamas’ sixth trip to Oahu for family vacation since moving into the White House. The president has deep roots on the island, which is where he was born and spent most of his childhood.

The first family typically rents a beach-side home in the town of Kailua, on the east side of the island, the White House says.

The president, First Lady Michelle Obama, daughters Sasha and Malia, and dogs Sunny and Bo arrived on Air Force One just before midnight Friday. They will remain on the island until after the New Year.
