Google search found this....I typed “who spent more money on vacations Obama vs Bush”

“Obama’s people have been very careful not to spend more than the past administration on travel and free time.

but.. It turns out that it was Very expensive having bush hang out in Texas on vacation at his ranch.
So it’s easy for Obama to spend less on travel and leisure than bush did.
The travel expenses for the bush daughters was extremely high.”

Another google search...it is crazy having to find this information. I find it crazy that this stuff is on the web.

IF what you found is true...it must be added that:

Remember, often times the White House, during those Presidential terms, made it clear that they were on "working vacations."

And, if it cost more, it was probably because of all that was needed to make it a "working vacation," such as communication systems, staffers, etc. I remember GW hosting heads of state and other political leaders at his ranch while he was on "vacation." That probably cost tax money. But...he was not off eating ice cream and playing golf and otherwise away from his duties totally, as with the Obamas. Those facts the liberal media, including Google, fail to include.
