New Kids on the D.C. Block

Posted on January 5, 2009

Welcome to Washington, Malia and Sasha! The future First Daughters woke up bright and early this morning for their first day of school at D.C.'s prestigious Sidwell Friends School.

Tuition at the private school is about $29,000 per year, and they've educated some of the country's brightest students, with Chelsea Clinton among the famous alums of Sidwell. Mom Hillary, the nation's next Secretary of State, tells "Extra" she's been advising Michelle Obama. "We have talked a couple of times," said Hillary. "She asks all the right questions -- I know she's going to do a terrific job."

Barack, Michelle and the girls are currently staying in a suite at Washington's Hay-Adams Hotel, where this pic of the girls preparing to leave for school was snapped. Some say the famous hotel is haunted by the ghost of Henry Adams' wife!

On January 15, the Obama family will move to Blair House, the official guest quarters of the White House. After Barack's inauguration on the 20th, the family will then settle into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue!

We share your sorrow. Our hearts and prayers goes out to the entire family. Losing a child is the most unbearable heartache anyone can experience. We too lost our only child (29 yrs old.)to cervical cancer. As you, she was a daughter that any parent would be proud to have.
He will always be in your hearts and will never be forgotten. May he rest in peace. Our deepest sympathy.

My heart hurts for the Travolta family. I cannot imagine the pain & grief they are experiencing through the loss of their beloved child. No one should ever have to lose a child. My payers and thoughts are with you through this life altering time.

I am so sorry for the loss of your
son I cannot imagine the pain you
and your family are going through. I know your memories will keep Jett
close to your heart, I believe that
God has his reasons, we just don’t understand why. Maybe he needed a
new Angel.
God bless you Kelly and Ella Blue.

Have been a fan since Welcome Back Cotter. Loved Grease.
Live not too far from you in Florida and wave to private planes, and say,
Hi John, as it flies over. It’s not likely you, but I pretend.
My husband and I are so sorry for you huge loss. We both have sons and can think of nothing worse. Our hearts and prayers are with you.

I hope the media including Extra will lay off of the girls and let them meet new friends and grow without the media being in their face every minute.
