yes, that's one of the perks. But I'd try to be conscientious about it for appearance sake if nothing more. Not take separate flights hours apart, in laws tagging along, etc. I'd also attend important funerals, even though it's common for the POTUS to send the First Lady. This is the most divided our nation is been in my lifetime, and a few little things like that could be a step toward bipartisanship.
