Nothing truly comes to a halt when the president of the United States goes on vacation. Heavy security, White House aides, military advisers, and various experts (totaling around 200 people) travel with them in case anything happens, and the work doesn't come to stop. It's hardly a real break.

While he greatly favored his home state of Hawaii for his getaways while in office, former President Barack Obama went a bit further afield for his first true vacation in eight years. This past week, Obama was spotted vacationing on Richard Branson's private island in the Caribbean, and he looked more relaxed than ever. He was even photographed wearing a baseball cap backwards on the beach.
