Photos of Obama Kids’ First Day of School Released

President-elect Barack Obama’s Transition Office released photos of the soon-to-be First Family this morning as Obama daughters Sasha and Malia prepared for their first day of school in Washington, D.C.

The transition released three photos of the Obamas in what appears to be their suite at the Hay-Adams Hotel, where the family is staying before moving into Blair House and, eventually, the White House.

Malia and Sasha start school at Sidwell Friends, a private school based in the Washington area with campuses in the city itself and suburban Maryland.

Since moving into the Hay-Adams, which is located a block from the White House, this weekend, the press have struggled to get pictures of the Obamas, who have been shepherded by Secret Service past many media stakeouts.
