Janita R. must be a great mom to have if you are just becoming a teen. Here is what she wrote about taking her daughter to the Brewster Inn of Dexter, Maine.
"My husband and I have stayed at the Brewster Inn before, so it was an easy choice when I was looking for a place to spend a couple days with my daughter. Actually this was the second time I've come to the Brewster Inn with a daughter. We celebrate passage into the teen years with a Mother/Daughter Retreat. This was such an excellent place to do that because the rooms are beautiful and the atmosphere is relaxed. We had plenty of room to do our activities and loved the special "Hot Chocolate" treat we got in the evening. We also loved the breakfast and kind words from our hosts. We will definitely be back!"
Making the effort to get away is not always easy but it is such a definitive way to honor another. I've had the privilege of doing this as well and it is a fine memory for everyone. When innkeepers like those at this Maine bed and breakfast add their kind words they serve as a witness to the event or occasion and enhance its meaning as well.
