Bush Compound

 

This is what is called the Bush compound. Its located in Kennebunkport, Maine. On the East coast people can own property on the ocean. On the West coast that doesn't seem to be done. 

First of all, Kennebunkport. The compound is maybe a mile away from the town itself. The town is delightful. Its the kind of touristy place with lots of cute knick knack shops, coffee shops, etc. I wasn't going to stop, but I saw no parking spaces available anyway. It was very crowded even though it was a very rainy day. 

You can't just drive up to the Bush house, of course, but there is a pull out spot where you can stop and look across the bay at it. There is only room for four or five cars. Maybe because of the rain, there was plenty of room for me to pull in. I've seen this view quite a bit on news broadcasts, so I'm guessing that the media got a lot of their shots from this spot. I remember hearing a few years ago there was a big storm which caused a lot of damage to the house and grounds. Even on this day when it was rainy and a little windy, I can see a major storm really being rough. 

This was only a 5 minute excursion, but fun for me.
