Many were quick to notice Michelle Obama's absence on Inauguration Day, but the former first lady had a message to share on social media as questions over why didn't attend swirl.

On the day of Donald Trump’s Presidential Inauguration, Michelle Obama is setting her sights elsewhere. Here’s what she’s up to outside of Washington D.C.

The announcement did not give a reason for Obama’s absence. It comes after she missed Jimmy Carter’s state funeral—where she would have been seated next to Trump. CNN reported at the time that Obama had a scheduling conflict and was “still in Hawaii on an extended holiday vacation” when the funeral took place.
