FLOTUS at the Olympics

Michelle Obama lives out her Olympic dreams.

The Time of Her Life - It's easy to imagine that there's nothing more exciting than becoming the nation's first African-American first lady, but for Michelle Obama, leading the U.S. delegation to the 2012 Summer Olympic Games is a dream come true. Whether she's attending a reception at Buckingham Palace hosted by the Queen of England and Team USA or participating in sports activities with American and British children at a Let's Move! event, the first lady has been having the time of her life. —Joyce Jones(Photo: Chris Jackson/Getty Images)

Fit for a Queen - Buckingham Palace is a must-see for most visitors to London, however, few get past the gates, never mind the guards — unless you're America's first lady, that is. On July 27, Obama attended a reception for heads of state and government in town for the Olympics. She is pictured here with U.S. Ambassador Louis Susman. Her skirt and jacket are by J. Mendel.(Photo: Dominic Lipinski - WPA Pool/Getty Images)
