I loved my view of the caricatures from Days gone by. My mom with a bad back. Had the perfect high-backed bench to sit on. Our waitress was awesome. The food was fine... I did enjoy my salad and it filled me nicely. But it was overpriced and not worth What we paid for it, even with the in an airport tax. I got the Gigi salad which had white onions, (why not red onions on a salad?) and iceberg lettuce. For $27, they should have used romaine. My mom got three sides as her meal. The broccoli Rabe was made without any garlic or flavoring so it was pretty bland and chewy. She did not enjoy it. She did like the asparagus. It was probably the best she's ever had. She also enjoyed her beans. I tried them they tasted weird to me...like they had broccoli Rabe on them (her food had not touched when I tried it). We did not partake in the $15 to $20 cocktails. Because of how much we spent on lunch... Her sides were $11 each... We skipped dessert.

There was no bathroom in the restaurant but my mother says the one in the airport in the A section was awesome. Although the rolls of toilet paper were new and she had a lot of trouble getting them started. Skip the B section bathroom nearest the restroom. She would pee there again. I would choose it over the airplane bathroom but not much else.
We went early on a Saturday morning and there was only one other couple there when we arrived at the lighthouse. A very peaceful and quiet walk. As we were leaving around 9:30 a.m. many people were walking toward the lighthouse and even more were driving towards the park.

Wear shoes with good soles. The rocks and gravel make things tougher on your feet. Be aware there are some hills so it's a good cardio workout... 11 minutes of active zone time lol.

Two porta potties at the lighthouse. One handicap accessible. Both fairly clean. No other garbage receptacles or facilities available that we saw. Pee or pass? I would pee here again.

We went to this theatre to see the Matrix Resurection. The theater was clean and large - also empty. This was my first time to a movie theater since the pandemic started and it was a weekday but are people going to the movies any more??

We had tickets from Fandango (which I got cash back for purchasing through shopallthat.com) and just had to scan the ticket so that was easy peasy. We had assigned seats so if it had been a busy theatre would our seats still have been as good? Logic would dictate yes.

The bathroom was large and relatively clean but not pristine. The worst part of it was the hand driers which sat between the sinks. They were the fancy dyson kind but they were FILTHY! Like really gross (see photo) with some sort of wet sludge sitting at the base of the dryer space in the crevice. They say hand dryers can be unsanitary and this is my first time seeing what they mean with my own eyes. There were no paper towels so it was this or nothing. There were well stocked toilet seat covers (anyone else always hear Phoebe Buffay's voice when you say that toilet seat covers to yourself?) which I always appreciate.

I would pee here again.

Follow me for places I've been and places I've gone 🤭.

Stopped here for coffee and a pee. They had ample of both. The coffee was good and hot. I bought a chapstick which didn't work and they exchanged it without complaint.

The bathroom was a 1 person and reasonably clean. There were no paper towels so I had to touch the sink handles and exit door.
I would pee here again.
