Joe and Hunter Biden were spotted strolling through downtown Nantucket with the former president’s gaggle of grandchildren in tow during a ritzy shopping trip ahead of their family’s Thanksgiving celebrations.
Joe, Hunter, and former first daughter Ashley Biden were photographed browsing the storefronts of the tony Massachusetts island alongside Hunter’s four children on Wednesday afternoon.
The pics were the first time Joe and Hunter had been photographed together since the former left the White House last January.
The Biden family paused near a fiddler who was playing a tune on the side of the street, and Joe dropped a $20 bill in their open gig bag.
The family’s patriarch, wearing a baseball cap, flashed a thumbs-up to nearby photographers.
Hunter, too, smirked at shutterbugs while flanking his ailing father, who just completed radiation for his aggressive prostate cancer in late October.
From there, the family dined for lunch at Lemon Press, a quaint cafe boasting pricey mid-day snacks, before going their separate ways in the motorcade.
As Joe left the historic downtown, Hunter slung an arm around his wife Melissa Biden’s shoulders and led her down Main Street, all while flanked by their stiff security team.
Earlier Wednesday morning, Melissa joined Ashley and matriarch Jill Biden for yet another Forme Barre class at Studio Nantucket. The Biden women also swung by Lemon Press afterwards for refreshments.
When Melissa split from the mother-daughter duo to track down her husband, Jill and Ashley dropped by a nearby flower shop and left with a bouquet of blue hydrangeas.
The ladies also swung by Studio Nantucket for a 60-minute barre class early Tuesday morning with the former First Lady’s step-granddaughter Finnegan Biden.
The Biden family have been making frequent visits into the island’s bustling downtown while they’re crashing at billionaire David Rubenstein’s sprawling $34 million Nantucket compound, where they’ve spent the last four Thanksgivings.
Rubenstein previously served as an adviser to former President Jimmy Carter. From there, he co-founded The Carlyle Group, one of the world’s largest private equity firms, which afforded him a cushy fortune — and an estimated $4.3 billion net worth.
Last Thanksgiving, Joe pardoned two turkeys named Peach and Blossom before booking it to Nantucket. This year, President Trump jokingly re-pardoned the same fowls, claiming that Joe’s “autopen” that spared them was “totally invalid.”
