Did you have a lovely summer vacation?
Was it long enough?
Sad it's over?
You know who once had a nice, long, summer vacation?
That's right — President Dwight D. Eisenhower!

It's a far cry from this peaceful setting to the cares of state which await him. But when you can catch your legal limit in one morning
It makes even a presidential vacation perfect
