The outgoing president is set to welcome Trump and his family to the White House on Friday before the inauguration. After the ceremony, the Barack and Michelle Obama will fly to Palm Springs, California, for a vacation. They will then return to Washington, where they are renting a house until their younger daughter, Sasha, completes high school.
