Will The Clintons Be Back In The Hamptons For Their Annual Two-Week August Vacation?

It's almost time for Bill and Hillary to introduce their new grandson, Aidan, to their Hamptons' traditions.

East Hampton, NY — Hillary Clinton, the presumptive Democratic Presidential candidate, is certainly going to have a tight schedule after she wraps up her party’s convention next week, but she has always made time to join husband, Bill, along with daughter Chelsea and her family for some time during their annual two weeks in the Hamptons at the end of August.

But will she have time to take a break and enjoy the Hamptons this year?

Today Hillary’s campaign schedule lists her last campaign stop in August as a fundraiser in Atlanta, Georgia on August 15.

The couple has a long history of enjoying all the Hamptons have to offer.

For the past two years, the family rented the same Amagansett ocean-front mansion, listed at $50,000 a week.

In past years, they rented an East Hampton estate adjacent to Georgica Beach on Lily Pond Lane, where secret service SUVs were seen parked in the driveway and Bill Clinton was served canapes on the spacious deck overlooking the ocean.

The couple were also spotted walking along the beach together.

While Hillary did a book-signing of her memoir "Hard Choices" at Bookhampton on Main Street in 2014, she didn’t venture out much, but in 2015 she also attended a few fundraisers while on the East End.

Former President Bill Clinton was often spotted in many of the local restaurants. He dined at Indian Wells Tavern and Sotto Sopra in Amagansett — and East Hampton Babette’s is one of his local go-to stops.

The couple also dined at East Hampton’s power spot, Nick & Toni’s, a few times.

Bill has been coming to the Hamptons for years. In 1988 he was the umpire at the Hamptons annual Writers & Artist softball game. and in 2013 he stopped by to watch the 65th annual event during his vacation.

If he’s in town, he might well attend again this year, as the game is scheduled to be played once again in Herricks Park next to Stop and Shop on August 20.
