OAK BLUFFS, Mass. – President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama visited White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett's house and then accompanied her to a nearby restaurant.
The Obamas' motorcade left their rented compound in Chilmark for Jarrett's nearby home in Oak Bluffs early Tuesday evening. Reporters traveling with the Obamas did not see the couple enter the home on the north shore of Martha's Vineyard.
The Obamas then accompanied Jarrett and Eric Whitaker, another longtime Obama friend, to Sweet Life, a restaurant in Oak Bluffs. The president's half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, and her husband, Konrad Ng, were among the dinner party.
Obama is spending a week on the island, a destination for the wealthy and privileged. They arrived on Sunday and so far have kept a low profile. Obama played golf earlier in the day with a White House chef and an aide.
Jarrett is a friend to both Obamas and helped the first couple navigate politics in their shared hometown of Chicago. Whitaker is also from Chicago.
