It has been rumored that Barack and Michelle plan to settle in Southern California after their youngest daughter Sasha, 17, graduates from high school
And Michelle has been seen plenty in the neighborhood this summer, recently bumping into Robert F Kennedy Jr in the Santa Monica mountains
'I stumbled across this amazing lady hiking the Santa Monica mountains this morning,' Kennedy wrote in the caption of their photo on Instagram
The former first lady was sporting a black hat, a blue sweatshirt and black workout pants
She flashed a huge smile as Kennedy posed beside her for the photo. Last week Michelle revealed her passion in the White House was always children
The mother-of-two became emotional on Friday as she spoke candidly about her work as first lady and how she balanced being a mother to Malia, 19, and Sasha
'Kids watch what you do, not what you say,' she said during the American Library Association annual conference in New Orleans
'So the biggest thing that Barack and I could ever do to be good parents to our kids, is to be good people in the world for them to see everyday
''They just want somebody to love them. They just want somebody to tell them that they're okay
' 'And that's one of the things I tried to do as first lady with kids and why I did so much with kids because I always thought, this is the interaction that could change a kid's life
This one hug, this one "you are worth it"', she continued. 'You never know what can make a difference
' Michelle also shared snippets from her memoir Becoming, which follows her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive and her time at the White House
She revealed how former president Barack Obama was not welcome at parent-teacher conferences after he once dropped by Malia's school with a fleet of Secret Service agents
'I tell this story of how Barack went to a parent-teacher conference, and you know, he's got a big motorcade
It's big,' she said. 'And men with guns — machine guns — and black sniper gear, they follow him everywhere in trucks and they're leaning out, looking at you like, "I will kill you" because that's their job

" So everybody was sort of okay when dad didn't go. Sort of politely going, "Dad you don't have to come to the Fall-Winter concert
It's OK. You can take a pass."'Michelle also spoke about how living in the White House affected their daughter's lives
'You're trying to be a normal parent in the midst of it when your kid is invited over for a sleepover, and you have to explain to them, "We'll need your social security number, and there will be dogs sweeping your house and they're going to ask you if you have guns and drugs and you'll have to tell them, "Sorry, Julia's mom but this is what it means to have Sasha over
But it's going to be fine."'Michelle also said it was difficult for the former first daughters to go to prom
'Our daughters had their own detail all the time, so imagine trying to go to prom with eight men with guns and doing anything else you're trying to do as a teenager,' she said
'Barack and I were very happy about it. But we had to learn how to discipline them without letting them think their agents told on them,' she joked
But when it comes to parenting, Michelle revealed how she learned that 'kids don't need that much'
'If they know you love them, unconditionally, you can live in the White House, you can live the little bitty apartment that I grew up in,' she said
'Home is what you make of it. It doesn't have to be perfect. It can be broken and funny and odd in many ways
' 'Kids are resilient. They make it through, which is why I think about all the kids that don't make it through because it takes a lot to break a kid
' 'But there's so many broken kids which reminds us how bad we're doing because you have to do really messed up stuff to kids to send them off
' Last week, Michelle joined all of the living, former first ladies in an unusual united political front to express their horror at children being separated from their parents at the US-Mexico border
As Michelle put it on Twitter, in support of Laura Bush: 'Sometimes truth transcends party
'Michelle also re-tweeted Bush, who first spoke out in an opinion piece Sunday in The Washington Post
The pair were later followed by Rosalynn Carter and Hillary Clinton. A few days later President Donald Trump signed an executive order ending family separation at the border
