PHOTOS: The Obama Girls Summer Vacation, 2013


 Dad and Malia make a breezy Air Force One exit at Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, on July 1.



The first family tour a rock quarry where Robben Island prisoners once worked in South Africa on June 30. Robben Island is an apartheid-era prison where Nelson Mandela was held

Malia rocks boots. Sasha sports a sly smile. How cool are the first daughters as they walk from Air Force One at the Tegel airport as part of their summer vacation travels. Here, they are arriving in Berlin on June 18. 

Malia Obama, 14, (she turns 15 on July 4) went a little nuts, crossing her eyes in reaction to multiple camera flashes going off as she took her seat with her mother and sister, Sasha, 12, at a special performance of Riverdance at historic Gaiety Theatre in Dublin on June 17. It was the girls' first stop after school got out.

Magenta pants. Pink heels. The girls brighten what appears to be a drab day in Belfast on June 17.  

It was chilly in Belfast as Malia and Sasha hit the stairs of Air Force One at Aldergrove International Airport on June 17. But one thing was sure hot: Malia's pink shoes. While dad was attending the G-8 summit, the girls had other plans lined up(before???)

Malia leads the way for Sasha as the Obama girls visit the Wicklow Mountains National Park in Ireland on June 18.

President Obama helps Sasha, while Mrs. O. hangs on to Malia as the family descends from Air Force One upon arrival at Tegel airport on June 18 in Berlin

Sasha and Malia visited the Berlin Wall memorial at Bernauer Strasse on June 19. Dad was giving a speech at the Brandenburg Gate.

Aw, mom. Sasha gets a hug from Mrs. O. as they arrive for their Holocaust Memorial visit in Berlin on June 19.

Mrs. O. took the girls and her husband's half sister, Auma Obama, left, to visit the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin on June 19. Uwe Neumaerker, director of the foundation for the memorial, gave them the lay of the land

Happy to be home! Malia holds hands with her dad, while Sasha snuggles with mom after arriving at the White House in Washington early on June 20 after visiting Ireland and Germany

 And they're off again. President Obama walks with Malia while Michelle Obama walks with Sasha as they leave the White House on June 26 to start their South Africa trip.

The stylish first daughters walk up the stairs of Air Force One before departing from Andrews Air Force Base, Md., on June 26 bound for South Africa.

The Obamas make their way off Air Force One as they arrive in Dakar, Senegal, on June 26. The jet-setting girls changed clothes on the plane. Of course!

The jet-setters exited Air Force One at Waterkloof Airbase, Pretoria, on June 28.

FLOTUS, POTUS, Sasha, Malia and Mrs. O's mom, Marian Robinson, listen to former prisoner Ahmed Kathrada as they stand in the limestone quarry where prisoners worked on Robben Island off the coast of Cape Town, South Africa, on June 30.
