I could even forgive the out dated style and yellow wall paints if it wasn't for one thing. Omg. Omg. The music, the music. For some reason we could hear loud music in our bedroom/hotel room the whole time but from around 12 am - 8 am. We heard it when we checked in and the next morning, while my husband was still asleep. When I say loud, I mean we could understand every word in every song that played. I am assuming it was the music from the restaurant, but after paying over $270 per night it is something I would not expect to happened.

The ham and beef were very good. All the sides were also excellent. The only thing that keeps it from getting 5 stars is the desserts. It seems to be the only thing not made in house. The cheesecake was just average. A fruit compote on top would have been enough to bump it up a notch. The chocolate torte was way too dense. It could have just been a chocolate bar. Overall, it was well worth the price to not cook or clean up!

The white house can be used as both a rented residence during wedding weekends and is also home to the bridal suite. The central building consists of the kitchen, bathrooms, and groom's suite. The third building consists of a reception hall, with covered balcony and covered courtyard below. It's not a huge venue, but quite cute, and at a recent wedding, perfectly sized for 100 people. The staff there is excellent, with the manager ever present and reliable and ready to get things organized. Catering staff is not on-site as this is just a venue, but they have a list of recommended providers whom they've previously worked with and know the venue. And this list is updated as they go based on vendor performance. They were also great with kids, accommodating as needed, definitely above and beyond. Overall, the wedding we recently attended at this venue was a success, and the venue did a great job of hosting and accommodating.

WTF! That's all I can say about what went down here back in January…read more You know those jokes which refer to Pennsylvania as Pennsyltucky or something like Pennsylvania being Philly on one side, Pittsburgh on the other with Iowa in between? Well, in that vain, welcome to Cedar Rapids when coming to the Valley Expo Center in Lebanon. Some sickos in my family decided it would be a good idea to see the cultural smorgasbord that is BOLOGNAFEST 2017 which apparently takes place annually at the Expo Center in January. Now remember, this is not the Festival in Bologna which takes place every April in Italy. No, this is I shit you not, a one day festival it rural PA devoted to that great smoked lunch meat Lebanon Bologna. Don't know what Lebanon Bologna is? Read on: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebanon_bologna The set up is simple. Pay entrance fee (yes to the four of you who read my drivel, you need to pay for awesome privilege of entering the festival) then enter the festival which has two main rooms of stuff going on plus a few extras. Extras: Some students from the Lebanon Career and Technology Center had some small ice carvings outside the main entrance. They were pretty cool to look at and it sure as hell was cold enough outside for the ice to more than last the entire day. The main hallway was solicitation central. Every local area bank, insurance company, roofer, etc. had a booth trying to push their product or service. Room 1: Was set up for the 2nd annual Cornhole Tournament. Don't know what Cornhole is? Read on: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornhole Room 2; A giant cornucopia of crap. This room had small inflatables for the younger kids to play on. Some small games of chance for both kids to play. A guy that brought some snakes to touch. Multiple food vendors hawking everything from a local Lutheran Church bringing soup, to a small Lancaster based candy company to various Lebanon Bologna offerings from various companies including Seltzer culminating with the stomach curdling Lebanon Bologna Fried Corndog on a Stick! (Charge to 200! Clear! Beep! Thump!) Pardon me but I had a heart palpitation just typing that let alone the thought of actually eating one. This room also had a stage with different acts during the day such as a juggler, a karate group, a live animal show, a beer & wine tasting but the crowning moment of course was the Bologna Eating Contest! The contestants were given a stack of Lebanon Bologna sandwiches and to win they simply had to shovel down the most within the allotted time. The $250 first place winner with something like ten or eleven sandwiches inhaled was Jack "Snack Jack" Diamond who I believe is a competitive eater having won this competition before and having competed and won other competitions such as the Newark Delaware Spud Bowl, the Mount Joy PA Rib Competition and the TNT Deli Fat Bastard Eating Contest in St. Clair PA. Overall I think we stayed two hours give or take and by that point, it was more than enough. If you want to go (Oh Boy!), apparently this thing takes place annually in January and is a only held for one day on a Saturday with this years version going from 10-8. Admission is suppose to be $4 per adult with kids 12 and under getting in for free but somehow or other when we bought a raffle ticket to win ?? they waived the admission cost. You've been warned.

When my adventure buddy casually asked, "Hey...do you want to ride The Pride of the Susquehanna on…read moreSunday?" my first response, surprisingly, wasn't "YES!" like it usually is. It was..."WAIT...THAT THING STILL FLOATS?!" I distinctly remember riding The Pride of the Susquehanna probably 30 years ago on a school field trip, but somewhere along the way I guess I just assumed it had quietly retired into the history books. Nope. She's still cruising the Susquehanna! And I was WAY more excited about that than a 40-something-year-old probably should have been! My adventure buddy grabbed our tickets ahead of time through the website for $20 per adult and we picked the 2:00 p.m. sightseeing cruise. The Pride offers a variety of cruises throughout the season, from narrated sightseeing trips to specialty cruises and private charters, making it a pretty unique ways to experience the Susquehanna River. We arrived a few minutes before departure, checked in quickly, and walked aboard. Instant nostalgia! It was exactly how I remembered it! Downstairs featured the same warm, dark wood interior with a bar, while upstairs offered the open-air deck where you can sit back, relax and enjoy some beautiful views as the only authentic stern-driven paddlewheel riverboat operating on the Susquehanna makes its way upriver before turning around for the return trip. Naturally, we made a quick stop at the bar before heading upstairs. Two beers and a bottle of water came to around $12, and with drinks in hand we settled in to enjoy the sunshine. Was this the most thrilling boat excursion you'll ever take? No. Absolutely not. You're not racing through rapids or spotting whales. You're simply enjoying a peaceful 45-minute cruise along one of Central Pennsylvania's most recognizable rivers. And honestly...that's kind of the point. The breeze coming off the water, the sunshine, the familiar skyline of Harrisburg and the gentle rhythm of the paddlewheel made for a wonderfully relaxing Sunday afternoon. Sometimes slowing down for 45 minutes is exactly what you need. Parking on City Island is plentiful and free, and the dock is conveniently located near the baseball stadium, exactly where I remembered it from all those years ago! One bonus tip...if you're looking to stretch your afternoon into an even bigger adventure, the Harrisburg Beach Club is just a short walk down City Island after your cruise. It makes the perfect follow-up stop for food, drinks, live music and soaking up a little more sunshine. The Pride of the Susquehanna may not be the flashiest attraction around, but it's one of those classic Central PA experiences that somehow manages to stay charming decade after decade. I'm really glad it's still floating. And I'm even happier that I finally climbed back aboard!
