The day started out like any other Pool day for me, meet at the Westin, Go to Kailua, get swept...and then...play what I call, the waiting game. Upon receiving news of a 'movement', the pool got ready to joing POTUS's motorcade and head with him...well...to whereever he was going. (They never tell us what's happening. It's like I said earlier today -- 12/26/2011 -- The press bus is the creepy drunk uncle that comes to family gatherings, the one that no one wants him at. As POTUS's black suburban whips past the press bus you hear shutters fire. *snap* Nail'd the obligatory Motorcade photo, through the ugly green tinted bullet proof glass. Next? We're going to church! US President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha Obama enter the Marine Corps Base Hawaii Chapel in Kaneohe, Hawaii, Sunday, December 25, 2011. On the way back from Chruch we entered the 'protected zone' along Kailuana Place, where the President's Vacation Rental home is...along the way, we spotted Eric Riseberg, a Staffer with the Associated Press out of San Francisco. Lukcy for AP, Audrey McAvoy's,one of their Hawaii Staff writer, mother lives along the same street. I call it the AP Press Hold. After a very very long wait...which seemed like an eternity, we followed POTUS off back to the Marine Corps Base. As with past years, he and Mrs. O went to do their annual meet and greet with soliders at the base mess hall. Members of the US military and their families take pictures of US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama during a Christmas Day visit to Anderson Hall mess hall at Marine Corps Base Hawaii on Sunday, December 25, 2011 in Kaneohe, Hawaii. This is where the little baby dude went ahead and shoved his hand up POTUS's nose and into POTUS's mouth. Quite the hilarious moment. TOTALLY MADE MY DAY! On the way back to Waikiki, there was some amazing light going over the Pali. It was beautiful. A great way to end a pretty cool day. **All Images ©2011 Kent Nishimura and Corbis/Independent Still Pool**
