The Obamas were all in southern California Friday as they watched Sasha take the stage and get her diploma, but it was just the Obama daughters once the sun set.

On the same day as her graduation, Sasha was spotted pumping her own gas at a gas station before meeting friends for dinner in Echo Park. Sasha and Malia walked with two friends through the trendy town. While the family was surrounded by Secret Service agents at the ceremony, they appeared to be solo.
