Listed for $10.995M, the eight-bedroom estate, complete with a sweet indoor pool and 600-bottle wine room, has hosted the likes of Clinton and Bush the Younger. Ford moved into the place in 1983 and sold it just before his death; details include the official Presidential seal engraved into the entryway, a plaque quoting John Adams, and a fireplace that was built to resemble the one in the White House’s State Dining Room.

First lady Michelle Obama and her daughters, Malia and Sasha, are among the Presidents Day weekend crowd.Mrs. Obama arrived Friday night for a weekend of skiing in Vail and Beaver Creek.
A motorcade of about a dozen vehicles, including 15 state and local law enforcement officers, traveled from the Eagle County Regional Airport to Vail on Friday night, according to the Colorado State Patrol. Roads were temporarily blocked to make way for the motorcade in Eagle.
The motorcade entered an underground garage beneath the Sebastian hotel in Vail Village shortly after 9:30 p.m.
The White House confirmed to the Washington Post the trip the morning in an email.
“The First Lady and several close family friends are chaperoning their children on a ski trip. Personal expenses are being paid for by the Obamas,” the email said.
Sasha, 9, and Malia, 12, have been skiing once before, at Liberty Mountain Resort, in Carroll Valley, Pa., in February 2010.
