As the first family embarks on a week of fun in the sun in Martha's Vineyard, one thing's for sure: they'll be in the company of some of the most high-profile people in the country.
The Obama family and their Secret Service entourage will spend this week at Blue Heron Farm, a 28.5-acre estate on the island that is rumored to cost anywhere from $35,000 to $50,000 per week.
Every summer the Vineyard, as it's known to locals, serves as summer haven for a bevy of well-known, well-heeled celebs, offering the president and his brood the chance to sip coffee with the likes of Meg Ryan, spend a day at the beach next to "Cheers" alums Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson, or even play a round of golf with his predecessor, President Bill Clinton.
"If the Obamas are so inclined, the likelihood that they could mingle with a few celebrities while they're on the island is very high," said Dawn Bellante-Holand, the general manager of Martha's Vineyard Online, MVOL.com.
According to island insiders, the family is likely to get invites to several of the many star-studded functions that take place on the island every summer.
"There is a very active social scene here," said Bellante-Holand. "There are lots of cultural events and gatherings and fun activities to do with kids that really bring people out."
Bellante-Holand said that the island's summer season is in full swing -- last week was the vastly popular Agricultural County Fair that is known to attract celebrities such as Reese Witherspoon and her beau Jake Gyllenhaal, along with Witherspoon's two children. Gyllenhaal and his sister Maggie have been long-time residents of the island.
