The Obamas snorkeled at Hanauma Bay closing it to the public during their four hours at the site.
Later, the family stopped in nearby Kailua for shave ice. Obama wished his fellow customers a "Happy New Year" before heading back to his rented vacation home and then dinner.

President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama dined Thursday night for nearly three hours at Vintage Cave, an exclusive restaurant that charges up to $500,000 for membership.

According to the restaurant's website, guests are whisked into a "cave-like environment" and encouraged to "escape the ordinary." The Waikiki restaurant's interior is composed of granite "quarried in the mountains of India" and custom-crafted furniture in a space that evokes the "underground architecture of ancient Rome."

And the meal? About as fine dining as it gets. According to Honolulu magazine, the bill for two can approach $1,000.
Must be nice to be King

You have to fork over around 4-5 grand for a shot of Macallan 50 at that place?

I got a bottle of Glenmorangie 10 for xmas, and it was pretty good. Aging whiskey is good...to a point.

Did anyone else notice that Michelle spent 3 hours pigging down and the average dinner meal for two is $1,000.00...wonder who's paying for all of this?
