Obama women arrive in Washington
The next US first lady Michelle Obama and her two daughters have arrived in Washington ahead of President-elect Barack Obama.
The Obama women arrived at their temporary home at the Hay-Adams Hotel in the evening.
They are expected to be joined today by Mr Obama, who remained in Chicago to wrap things up at his home and transition office.
The Obamas moved early so their daughters could start school on time.
The Obamas’ daughters, seven-year-old Sasha and 10-year-old Malia, start classes tomorrow at the private Sidwell Friends School.
