Moving Truck Spotted at the White House as Sasha and Malia Obama’s Swing Set Is Donated to DC-Area Charity

Moving Truck Spotted at the White House as Sasha and Malia Obama’s Swing Set Is Donated to DC-Area Charity

The Obamas are making moves.

A moving truck was seen outside the White House on Wednesday, just two weeks before President-elect Donald Trump is due to move into the residence on Inauguration Day, Jan. 20.

CNN reporter Michelle Kosinski spotted the truck, from Moving Masters Inc., which was parked on West Executive Avenue, a street inside the White House gates near the West Wing.

After moving out of the White House later this month, President Barack Obama and wife Michelle Obama will continue living in Washington, D.C., at least until 15-year-old daughter Sasha, who is a sophomore, finishes high school, the president previously announced. Older daughter Malia, 18, is expected to join her family in the new digs until she enters Harvard in the fall.

According to Politico, the Obamas are leasing a nine bedroom, $5.3 million mansion in the Kalorama neighborhood of the nation’s capital.

As the first family prepares to leave their home of the last eight years, another staple of the Obama White House is also on its way to a new home — the swing and play set that was installed for Malia and Sasha on the south grounds of the White House during the president’s first year in office. A White House source tells PEOPLE the Obamas donated the play set to a local organization serving those in need, and that additional information will be available in the coming days. The swing set has already been removed from the White House grounds and relocated, the source said.

The swing set was first offered to the Trumps before donating. (Trump’s wife, Melania, and son Barron, 10, will not move into the White House immediately, the president-elect revealed in November. They will continue living in New York City for at least six more months so that Barron can finish out the school year.)

Malia and Sasha were 10 and 7, respectively, when their family first moved into the White House in 2009. But the swing set has remained a hangout spot for the girls through the years. Here, a 17-year-old Malia is seen using her cell phone while sitting on a swing in May 2016:

The swing set, located just outside the Oval Office, was a place not only for the girls to play but also for the president to have private talks, meetings and quiet moments alone.

In 2009, the president was photographed meeting with then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at a picnic table near the swing set.
