The Obamas are spending a long weekend in Chicago for their first real break since he became president on Jan. 20, according to the
Chicago Sun-Times:

They were spotted leaving a quiet Valentine's dinner last night at their fave restaurant Table 52, a restaurant owned by
Oprah Winfrey's former chef,
Art Smith. Art's restaurant here in D.C., Art & Soul, is hot by the way. Loved it. The First Couple won't be doing any official public events this Holiday weekend. Just chillin' at their Hyde Park home on Chicago's south side.
And over at the All-Star festivities:
Grant and
Tamia and other folks hit up the pre-Valentine's Vitamin Water party. Cute.
