Walker's Point Estate, home to President George H. W. Bush.

The other day, I took a trip up to Kennebunk, Maine with my wife and her parents for a nice long bike ride along the coast. For those of you who haven’t seen the Maine coast, I strongly urge you to visit. With so many inlets and rocky points, there are private beaches and cliff drops at almost every corner…for about 3,500 miles. We only caught about 4 miles of it – the four miles that lead up to Walker’s Point, home to President George H. W. Bush.

The town of Kennebunk has kindly built a section of the road for cars to pull over and admire the estate but the best way to enjoy the view is by foot, or bike, as the case may be. The home is heavily guarded (in fact, a large security guard made his presence known to us while we were there) but it’s very much a public attraction with it’s own beach directly offf from the road.

With any luck, maybe we’ll be able to secure an interview with President Bush about the home for a future story in the magazine. Until then, we can all pull off the side of the road and just admire. —Jack
