A VERY expensive getaway: Obama family's separate weekend trips cost at least $2.5 million (...and why did Barack spend Valentine's golfing in California while Michelle went skiing in Colorado?)

• President Barack Obama flew to California for a fundraiser and a speech
• He then spent the next three days playing golf at an exclusive resort 
• At the same time Michelle Obama and Malia and Sasha were skiing in Aspen, Colorado
• New figures show that Air Force One costs $228,288 per hour to run 
• As a result, the ten-hour return trip to California would cost almost $2.3m
• It is estimated that Mrs Obama's skiing trip cost a further $100,000 
• With accommodation and car rental, the weekend break would cost $2.5m
