Presidential vacation spots

Everyone has to get away once in a while — even the President of the United States.

Of course, if you are the president, you’ll be moving quite an entourage, and not just any place can accomodate that kind of traffic. That’s part of why many of our leaders of the free world have had a special place to call their own.

Forbes Traveler took a look back at former presidents and their favorite getaway spots.

Here’s the list:

Hyannis Port, Mass. — John F. Kennedy

Campobello Island, New Brunswick, Canada — Franklin D. Roosevelt

Shenandoah National Park, Va. — Herbert Hoover

Key West, Fla. — Harry Truman
