June 28, 2024 A Second Mother’s Day at Hidden Pond
Year two of our mother daughter trip to Hidden Pond! We can’t wait to do some of our favorite things we did last year and try a few new things this year! We stopped at Lil’s Cafe in Kittery on the way up to Kennebunkport to get some crullers, Lil’s makes the best!
This year we are in #6, First Light, just before you get the the front office, and very close to the pool.
Speaking of the pool, it’s the first place that we head to as soon as we put our bags down. This year, they have a glow stick party and blow up toys and we are just in heaven!
S’mores are back and we fancy them up with our own cookies, just to be a little extra.
We had dinner at a sister property downtown, The Boathouse, that offers valet parking, which is a plus – street parking at night is hard to come by – you either have to find street parking or get lucky in a pay lot. You can also use the hotel shuttle to get down here. Lovely views of the water, make sure to bring something warm to wear at night, as it is cooler by the water. They do not take reservations, so go early if you’d like to grab a seat outside on the deck.
We woke up the next morning do go searching for sea treasures. We went to middle beach and did manage to find a few small pieces of sea glass and a few small shells. Does anyone have any recommendations foe sea glass beaches in Kennebunkport?
After our beach walk, we came back into town and did a candle class at Sea Love. You get to pick your scent, pick your vessel, pour your wax, and decorate your label. Such a fun way to make a memory for our trip. Come back two hours later and the candle is all ready to go. A fun thing to do if you’re having a girls trip, if you’re in town for a bachelorette weekend, or just looking to do something with your family. The scent combinations are endless! We can’t wait to go back next year to try something entirely different.
We have been looking forward to craft hour for weeks, and making a tie dye shirt for grandma, who couldn’t make the trip this year. Ryan was here again this year, and always makes craft time a blast, even offered to go above and beyond and teach this little one how to ride a bike without training wheels!
Spend the rest of the afternoon relaxing at the pool with a few other moms and families. Perfect way to end the day.
The next morning, pastries and coffee were brought to our door, but we decided to have a special morning out and headed over to Earth for our last breakfast in Maine.We were the only ones here it was so early!
There is just something so good about a hotel breakfast!
And a trip to Maine would not be complete without a stop at Congdon’s in Wells. Make sure to wake up early, because they go fast. I mean the kids love the strawberry frosted, I can’t stay away from the lemon filled (and when you are in Maine, how do you pass up a blueberry filled, right?) and I also love a good chocolate coconut, because you can’t really find those around here very much these days.
Year two was just as good as year one. Customer service was top notch, as was expected.
