Marine One touched down on the South Lawn just after 10:20 p.m. Sunday, concluding 14 days of vacation for Obama. The president arrived with the first lady and daughter Malia in tow, according to pool reporters.

Obama will meet with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Monday, but has no public events.

The president’s relaxation time in Massachusetts was largely overcome by events. He played nine rounds of golf and went to the beach with his family twice, by ABC News’ count, but he also addressed TV cameras four times, issued disaster declarations and phoned various foreign leaders.

Obama left for Martha’s Vineyard on Aug. 9, returned to Washington, D.C. late at night on Aug. 16 for three days of meetings and a live, televised appearance to discuss Iraq and Ferguson, Missouri, then went back to the Vineyard on Aug. 19 and came back Sunday night.
