Who’s That Standing on Plymouth Rock?

It’s one of my ancestors, of course! We do have records that date back to around that time. Just like the pilgrims, Massasoit met us when we arrived.

There she is…the Mayflower. Almost every single house/historical site/museum costs about $10-12 to visit, which can add up. Dan said he wasn’t going to go on board the Mayflower. I said that I’ve not taught about the Mayflower for 21 years not to go on board so…we went. Ha!

The captain of the ship…he really played his part well, never getting out of character.IMG_2197

I can’t even imagine 120 people living down here.

After leaving Plymouth, we headed to Cape Cod in a very roundabout way. I was not a very good navigator on this leg of our trip.
