Just over an hour after President Donald Trump took the oath of office, former President Joe Biden and former First Lady Jill Biden departed D.C. in a helicopter. Nighthawk 46 – known as Marine One when the current president is aboard – took them to Joint Base Andrews where the outgoing president addressed a crowd of supporters.
"It has been the honor of my life to serve as your president," Biden said to the cheering crowd before telling them, "I love you all."
After wrapping up his short remarks, the former president and his wife jetted off to the Santa Ynez Valley in California for some personal time.
While some went to Santa Barbara Airport in hopes of seeing Biden’s plane land, however, a "no-fly" notice in the airspace around Vandenberg indicated that the former president would land there, local outlet KEYT reported.
"He and Jill visited last summer so this is his second visit in less than a year," Shelby Sim, President/CEO of Visit the Santa Ynez Valley, told People magazine. Sim also told the outlet that there’s a "rumor" that the former president is looking to buy a home in the area, but insisted that this visit "is purely for R&R."
