Oh yeah and the BM's are special. Amazing an old kinda run down place which needs little change to be so successful, has a great breakfast and really good grub all day/night huh? Fun place, incidentally the owner just bought the Irish bar next door too with the roof top bar as well as downstairs, Tara's Tipperary. Now called The Pub I believe so 2 venues now within 30 yards to enjoy music, food and drink.

Good to know, thanks. We'll be back in Green Hill Beach for a little over a week in July so I will check out the new place. Have been to it when it was the Irish place because the wife didn't want to sit in the Ocean Mist with the kids one afternoon when there was a live band blaring and the place smelled like a monkey house. I finally dragged her back there for the Crab Benny and Bloodies and now she's a fan, but only for breakfast.

thanks, heard Gettysburg is intense. I'll be looking into them

Intense, haunting, moving, you name it.
We just stopped in Gettysburg while visiting colleges with my oldest daughter. Coincidentally, we happened to be there on the anniversary of Lincoln's assassination (4/14/17). I spent over three hours in the Visitors' Center Museum, so I had to cut short the tour of the grounds. I was able to see a few of the sites and memorials. Little Round Top, Big Round Top, Pennsylvania memorial, the Soldiers' Memorial (Where Lincoln gave his Gettysburg Address). I will go back again, with at least two days to spend there.

For Revolutionary trips, you can spend a few days in both Boston (Freedom Trail) and Philly and never see everything.
