The Trump family isn't the only family packing it up before the official transition takes place. This week, movers have been spotted removing pieces of the Obama family's furniture from the White House, including Sasha and Malia's swing set. President Obama, Michelle and their two daughters Malia, 18, and Sasha, 15, are relocating to a 5.3 million dollar home just miles away from the Pennsylvania Ave. mansion. President Obama and his family have agreed to stay local an additional two years so that Sasha can continue to attend the Sidwell Friends School.
