Chirstmas Eve at the Accomac Inn


This year we closed the shop on Christmas Eve and traveled to Lancaster county to visit with my sister Pat and to have dinner at the historic Accomac Inn.  We had last been there more than ten years ago to celebrate our Dad's 80th birthday.  The temperatures were frigid (20 degrees) and the wind blowing off of the Susquehanna river made the walk to the entrance seem endless.  The entry is in the middle of a long screened in porch which they had decorated with numerous real trees...still the wind was whipping!  Once inside we immediately warmed up thanks to the crackling fireplaces and general warm interior.  I was a bit disappointed in the holiday decorations which were npot true to colonial times (Glass jars filled with bright holiday balls instead of fresh greens :(     ...) But still loved being in this historic inn.  It is true what they say...you can't go back again.  I remember this as being the ultimate dining experience which it was not.  Perhaps I have grown a bit in my experiences and I fear they have slipped but would still recommend this lovely restaurant if for no other reason than the fabulous building in which it operates.
