Beach and (Kennedy) Photo shoot

Finally off to the beach today (after a late morning working on a foot splinter for Hudson). It was low 70s and a bit cool but still fun to play in the sand. We had a private parking pass from our Airbnb and shuttled everyone back and forth. The boys enjoyed the chilly water and we got to throw the football around. We ate snacks and sandwiches before heading back to our home. In the afternoon we played cornhole and frisbee and some Switch before showering and getting ready for a photo shoot. We met our photographer at a private beach club that was closed. It drizzled a little before we walked down the road and got pictures by the sea and on the sand. As we were finishing up, we got caught by a local resident for going on private property. We headed back to the cars where a security guard told us to get out of the club’s lot. As we loaded in, yet another club member (that had driven by during our shoot) came over to our car. We prepared ourselves for another talking when he surprised us by telling the security card to stand down and offered his beach front property for additional photos. He was so kind and when he said his name was Chris Kennedy and drove off, we googled him and found out he is RFK’s son. Though our cameraman had already driven off, we decided to take him up on his offer and drove down the path to a pullover. We got out and crossed the no trespassing chain and got some additional photos with our phones. It was then that Chris came by again and said we hadn’t yet reach his beach and we were on someone else’s land. He pointed us down the private drive and Gideon and Hudson shook his hand as he told us that the house used to be JFKs Cape Cod retreat! We finally made it to the end and got a few more pics before heading off to dinner. A pretty cool experience and the kids were blown away, especially as there are JFK museums and memorials here. Dinner at Black Cat Tavern was delicious and everyone was exhausted when we got home. A laid back day with a great story and Chris Kennedy went out of his way to be so kind. Certainly a photo shoot we will never forget!Read more
