Obamas Will Vacation On Gulf Coast

President has encouraged Americans to travel to region

WASHINGTON
— President Barack Obama and his family will vacation on Florida's Gulf Coast next month, the White House said Thursday.

The Obamas are scheduled to travel to the coast on Aug. 14 and stay the weekend. More details about precisely where they would stay were to be released later, the White House said.

Obama has made four trips to the Gulf region, including one overnight stay, since an underwater well began spewing oil into the Gulf of Mexico in April. First lady Michelle Obama is making her second visit to the area on Friday.

Both the president and first lady have made a point of encouraging people to visit those Gulf Coast beaches that are open and free of oil damage to help the local economy.
