President Barack Obama and his wife and friends dined at Nobu's Waikiki tonight on the eve of the first family's departure.

-----------

Earlier, Obama spent New Year’s Day remembering his family’s history.

In the late morning, Obama took his wife and daughters to visit the grave of his grandfather, Stanley Dunham, at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl.

The Obamas then headed to the East-West Center, which is featuring a display on the anthropological work of the president’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham. The exhibition includes photographs taken during Dunham’s years of field research in Indonesia, as well as her personal art and artifact collection.

The little girl is his niece Savita Ng (4?), her sister Suhaila Ng is 7 now I think.
