Plimoth Plantation was a fun place to visit;
the little village is built to look just like the one that the pilgrims lived in, and there are actors on site who play specific people who came across on the Mayflower. They have researched their characters in depth and will talk to you and answer all kinds of questions.

| This lady told us that 11 people lived in her little house. She also said that the flower Cailyn had been holding was used in salads and as medicine. |
We took a quick jog over to the Indian Village

| The Mooflower |
Then we headed over to see the Mayflower II - replica of the original Mayflower.
The girls loved testing out the various beds.
They giggled and played with this cradle for probably 20 minutes.
(I think a cradle on a ship has to be either a brilliant idea or one of the stupidest ideas I've ever heard of...I'm not sure which; would the waves rock the baby to sleep or tip it over?)

| These ladies were singing traditional hymns. |
And then we saw Plymouth Rock. Very underwhelming...I always imagined it to be huge, but it was actually pretty small.
