Who holds the record for the most presidential vacation time?

<div class="wapo-related-content" id="wapo-related-content-1">
<p>Thursday's episode of <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/posttv/c/show/inplay">In Play</a>, The Washington Post's new political analysis show hosted by Chris Cillizza of <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/">The Fix</a> and Jackie Kucinich, revealed the answer: President George W. Bush. During his two terms, Bush took 879 vacation days, which included 77 total trips to his Crawford, Tex., ranch. Nine of those trips were taken in his first year as president.</p>
<p>While Bush holds the record for the longest modern presidential vacation for his five-week recess in 2005 in Crawford, the all-time record holder is John Adams who took eight months off in 1799.</p>
<p>With Congress in recess, President Obama will travel with his family to Cape Cod for his eight-day vacation Saturday. This will be the family's fourth visit to the New England getaway since 2009.</p></div>
