National Vacation (Slightly Lampooned)

A few vacation tips for the First Family:
Stay in a fancy place that costs a fortune.  Might I suggest a National Park?
Not quite $7.6 million.  Just $20 a night.

And for that $20 you can pitch an additional tent close by for your staff.
Why will you need staff nearby?
To bring you tea in the morning.  You know, fancy tea.  Vacation tea.  In the wild.
I addition to your secret service to protect you from bears, you will also need staff to prepare your meals.
Fancy meals like hot dogs and fruit salad.
With fancy desserts like marshed mallows.
Pack carefully.  Don't forget the matches, because there may not be any available at the camp store.  (Can you say sequester?)    And you will want to have a good selection of vacation clothes.  (Remember the Michelle shorts scandal early in your first term?  Those were the days, huh?)  There is always the possibility of paparazzi behind every tree, snapping pictures.  Thousands of pictures.  Of you and the kids.

 And if they don't get the shots you want, you can always take your own picture, a la Facebook.

Because, trust me, these are the moments you'll want to remember.








**The real story here is that the STP went camping and slept in a tent.  Oh, the power of the grandchild.

And you didn't even mention that you might have to pitch your tent in the rain - staff are good for that as well. :)
