WASHINGTON–Sasha Obama turned 10 on Friday and celebrated her birthday with her family at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland. Her sister, Malia, is 13 on July 4.

By the way…President Obama hits 50 on Aug. 4.

Obama and First Lady Michelle and her mother, Marian Robinson, headed out to Camp David on Friday afternoon, with Marine One lifting off from the White House at 3:34 p.m. According to the pool report, Malia and Sasha traveled separately to Camp David.

Sasha Obama celebrated her ninth birthday at home in 2010.

In 2009, Mrs. Obama and her daughters were in London for a summer vacation, marking Sasha’s eighth birthday by visiting the set of a Harry Potter movie.
