President Barack Obama and his family are heading west this weekend for a Father's Day getaway. The Obama family left the White House earlier Friday to head to Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico and Yosemite National Park in California.

The family vacation comes a week after the oldest daughter, Malia, graduated from the private Sidwell Friends School at an outdoor ceremony that the family attended.
