The weather man said it was going to be another sunny day so we decided that we should hit the beach again. Before heading out, we enjoyed belgium waffles with strawberries and whip cream while watching our neighbors pack up.
We headed a bit further south today to Ferry Beach State Park. The first thing I noticed that there wasn’t as many cars in the parking lot. I wasn’t sure if this was a good sign or not. Once we hauled our gear about 100 yards (this according to the ranger), we settled onto a beautiful beach. As we drove in, the ranger station had a sign saying that today’s water temperature was 64°F. That’s still too cold for me to go in. We did the usual things that you do at the beach … read, nap under our towels (it was a bit windy) and snack. The sun decided to hide behind the clouds and that was our cue to head out and get some lunch. Karen found an Olive Garden that wasn’t too far away and we were shocked that we were actually able to get in.
Since we were further south than yesterday, we made our way to Kennebunkport to do some exploring. The town is filled with many shops and restaurants. It’s a charming New England town.
We knew that former President George H.W. Bush has a summer home in Kennebunkport so we went about trying to find it. The home is located on Walker’s Point and using our map reading skills we were able to find it. Secret Service are in the guard house at the entrace of the driveway but if you drive past it, there is a spot where you can pull over and have a look at the property. The place is huge and I can imagine the views that they have.
We picked up dinner from The Clam Shack and headed back to St Ann’s Episcopal Church. We saw the church on our way to the Bush Compound and we noticed that people had pulled up onto the grass and were sitting and waiting for the sunset. We didn’t stay for the sunset but we did enjoy our dinner and fried dough with powdered sugar, while sitting along the water’s edge.
Saco is fortunate enough to have a drive-in so we went to check it out. The price is right ($14 for the first two people and $3/person after that) and they ladle the butter on the popcorn. Tonight’s double feature was “Dinner For Schmucks” and “Salt”. I believe “Dinner For Schmucks” is the worst movie I have ever seen in my life and we left “Salt” after the first hour.
