DETAILS: First Lady Michelle Obama's Ski Getaway
ET ^ | February 21, 2011 | Lisa Hirsch

Posted on 02/21/2011 10:14:52 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

First Lady Michelle Obama and the first children, Malia and Sasha, enjoyed a weekend of skiing and celebrating in Vail, Colorado, and ET has exclusive details!

The First Lady and the girls stayed at the Sebastian Hotel, where they requested an early morning call every day so they could hit the slopes -- spending about 5-7 hours each day on the mountain!

The First Lady and her friends hit the spa, but the fun wasn't reserved for the adults -- Sasha, Malia and their friends had a sleepover where they played Wii and watched videos, and the girls also enjoyed swimming in the pool and lounging in the hot tubs.

For dining, Michelle and the girls visited restaurant Kelly Liken (which may ring a bell for "Top Chef" fans who remember Kelly from Season 7), had lunch on the mountain at Game Creek, and dinner at Sweet Basil.

Boy, I can't wait for my next monthly vacation at a luxurious hotel & spa with a gourmet restaurant courtesy of the taxpayers. Oh, wait, that isn't going to happen!

“It is good to be Queen”

Especially if you’re already married to one, right?

My bad :-)

Seriously, though, in light of the mess they’ve made for our country, this story is just disgusting on so many levels.

Do children really care about just sitting around in a tub of hot water?

Do those poor girls ever actually go to school? Because I know ol’ Michelle ain’t homeschooling them. Or are they getting the only education they really need - how to enjoy those reparations?

"Naive, bring me my Volkl skis now. Not the cheap Solomons like before. I hit the slopes in 5 minutes. CHOP CHOP!"

This is not a vacation, it's a giggle and smirk tour meant to show us suckers she could give a rat's a$$ about the US of A.
The only other option is that she just doesn't know any better.

Eat your Ramen noodles sitting in the freezer with skis on and then soak your frozen feet in a pot of hot water.

[what? not close enough?]

I HATE Ramen noodles. I’d have to be starving. OTOH, beanie-weanies, cheap chicken noodle soup, bean w/bacon, bologna or cheese hot dogs I can live on.

Whatever you choose to eat in the privacy of your own luxuriously opulent freezer ski resort spa is totally up to you.....:)

How much do you want to bet that there's no well-stocked mini-bar left behind on these jaunts?

Holy crap!

That’s a month worth of food for us, all the dogs *including* the Dobermann’s rump roasts!

Dayum.

That wasn't even a meal, just a snack! That was before her husband became Dear Leader. Can you imagine what she eats now?!
