Ogunquit Hotels

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

I have been staying in Ogunquit quite a lot recently and so have been trying out a variety of Ogunquit hotels. My sister has just moved to the area and has recently had a baby and so I have been visiting and helping her out. The house is too small for me to stay overnight and I think they need some private family time. What I do is book into one of the Ogunquit ME hotels for a week and then visit my sister after I have had breakfast and her husband has gone to work.

We have a fun day together and I help her with meals and things. We cook the evening meal together and when her husband gets in, we all eat and then when I have helped to tidy away I go back to the hotel so that they have the evening together. It seems to work out really well and as I get such a good sleep, I can let her have a few hours in the day time while I baby sit or even take my little niece out for a work in the buggy and let her catch up a bit. It is working out really well and I hope that they are enjoying it as much as I am. The only thing is the expense for me and I have therefore decided to look into Ogunquit motels because I am hoping that they will be a bit cheaper.

Okay, so I turned 13 in April. My parents agreed to let me have a party at a beach owned by our family, but I’m not sure what else to do besides swimming, boating, and a cookout. It will probably just be a short party with 3-5 other girls. Any suggestions?

sounds like a lot of fun already! got any tubes or water skis? maybe a bonfire at night, look for shells, play some type of game..you could play this one where you buy each girl a t-shirt (you could use that as their party favor also) and you soak each one in water then put each one in a bag and freeze them..then they have to unthaw them enough and whoever puts theirs on first gets a special prize, maybe a $5 gift card or something. or some water balloon games would be fun..teams of two can each hold an end of a towel and pass a water balloon back and forth only using the towel to catch and throw it…or have two girls standing in the water with a bucket, they fill their bucket up with water and toss the water to their team-mate who is holding another bucket, they catch as much water as they can and then run to another spot to dump their water in a clear bucket…first to fill up to a certain line wins!
