Last summer, while grocery shopping at Hannaford, Kaitlyn, Kevin, and Grammy were randomly selected by Hood as winners of a weekend in New Hampshire. They met one of the Red Sox players and were even on the news that night! The prize included two nights at a hotel, several meals out, and various other gift certificates.
The hotel was the Red Jacket Inn. It was pretty cool because besides traditional hotel rooms, they had townhomes, and even full size homes to stay in. We were in one of the townhomes. Kaitlyn loved having all the room to run around. They also had a playground on site and free activities throughout the weekend. The first night we were there they were offering horse and carriage rides.
Afterwards Kaitlyn asked to play on the playground for a bit.
Then we used one of our meal certificates at the Black Cap Grill, the sister restaurant of the White Cap Grill in Portland. Kevin got the build-your-own burger and sweet potato fries. I had the salmon with mango salsa.
The following morning while Kaitlyn took a nap, Kevin and I went hiking on one of the trails by the hotel.
Then we met up with Kaitlyn and Grammy for lunch on the deck of the Muddy Moose.
Next we went mini-golfing. Kevin got a hole in one and I got two! Kaitlyn continued her tradition of cheating
We used another gift certificate at the 1785 Inn for dinner that evening. The food was amazing. I got my escargot and tried elk sausage for the first time. Kaitlyn discovered a love of lobster and scallops.
I tried their award winning dessert… Sorry for the poorer picture quality. Gotta love the low-light setting.
Kaitlyn back in the townhouse after dinner, still all dressed up and looking pretty…
The next morning Kaitlyn played behind the hotel before we had to head home.
Stopping for pictures on the way home…
We will be heading back later this summer. We have one more gift certificate to use on a dinner train, but that only runs during summer months.
