Arrival Impressions
I flew into Baldwin hoping for nice weather, and I got it. The airport staff were friendly and even gave me a ride to my motel. The motel felt warm and homey, like coming back to a place I knew. At check-in, I said “totes rad” by mistake, and the bellhop smiled and corrected me. My room was clean and cozy, a great place to start my Baldwin trip.
Morning: Main Street Discovery
I began my first full day with a slow walk down Main Street. A small coffee shop on the corner, known for its ice cream, caught my eye. My first ice cream had a small taste problem, but the nice staff quickly gave me a new one.
Lunch: Local Comfort Food
For lunch, I went to a small, cozy diner that serves classic comfort food. The pulled pork sandwich was very tasty, and the staff was kind and careful with my order. Big windows looked out onto Main Street, making it a nice spot to eat and watch people go by.
Afternoon: Riverside Relaxation
The best part of my afternoon was visiting a coffee shop with great views of the river. I met some nice locals who kindly showed me their favorite places in town. As I sipped my drink and talked with them, I felt the true small-town charm that makes Baldwin special.
Evening: Fine Dining Experience
I ended my first day at a nice restaurant with soft lighting and live music. The pan-seared salmon was cooked just right, with a sauce that made the dish even better. The great service made me enjoy a couple of glasses of wine, finishing a perfect day in Baldwin.
