And Associated Press had to cover it.
GREAT BAY, U.S. Virgin Islands - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Tuesday that he held an impromptu Easter service with his family at their beachside hotel but has spent most of his down time playing with his two daughters in the pool.Did he use sunscreen? What floats were in the pool? Did they bring their own beach towels? This is all news we need to know. Why didn't AP supply it?(Cue the sarcastic laughter)The Illinois senator took a short break from the campaign to spend a few days with his family at a resort on St. Thomas. Relaxing in the shade of a palm tree Tuesday, he spoke briefly to journalists from The Associated Press and two other news organizations.
"I've got a couple days with my family," he said. "We did a little Easter service here, because we couldn't go to church, and the kids read some Scripture and we had Easter dinner, and I've been mostly playing with them in the pool."
Obama's daughters are Malia, 9, and Sasha, 6.
*****
Obama played golf Monday at Mahogany Run with friends and an administrative assistant, said Nevin Phillips, director of the course.
Now if the American public could just get a vacation from the 2008 presidential race before November. That would be a dream come true.

Do you think they did any snorkeling? I wonder if they played some Frisbee? I'll bet Barack is really good at that.
