Day 2-Father's Day in Kennebunkport

A nice leisurely morning - breakfast at home.  Ken started working on his computer "tickets" - he's helping Rich and Katharine with software for 2 computers.  Meanwhile the rest of us took a nice walk on the beach.  Yvonne even adventurously climbed on the rocks to get a better harbor view.
And put her feet in the fairly frigid waters of Maine:
Then it was off to:





for a bit of shopping, clam-eating and Bush-peeping.  First the clam-eating - we went to Kennebunkport's "Clam Shack" - world famous for the excellent fresh full-belly clams.  We ate them while watching some crazy kids trying to catch stripers in the River with french-fries (pretty successfully).  Then shopping....Yvonne's first purchase - a Kennebunkport t-shirt.  Other artistic and interesting browsing, and then it was the first ice-cream of the day.  Some Maine-made Gifford brand.  We did our digestion while gazing at Walker Point, the Bush Family compound in Kennebunkport.  While it looked like someone may be in residence, we didn't have any brushes with the Bushes.




We walked off the ice cream at St. Ann's church, an Episcopal church on the water's edge, right down the road from Walker Point.


Rich then did some kite flying on the beach, but with rain threatening, we returned to the Fischer-Woodring compound and served up a nice Father's Day Happy Hour on the deck overlooking the ocean.We capped off our full day with dinner at Lord's Seafood.  It looks like he was surprised by the lobster in his macaroni and cheese.  It was a nice meal, and nice for us all to be together.  Happy Father's Day!
