Plymouth

A while back Carl and I ran a half-marathon in Plymouth, to Plymouth Rock.  After the race we visited Plymouth.  We had a great time.  One discovery we made is that Plymouth Rock is actually not that big.  We visited the Mayflower replica and Plimouth Plantation (old school spelling, I believe).  It was awesome!  It is a "live" museum, I think that's what it's called anyhow.  They have built a replica of the original Plymouth, with actors who play the part of original settlers, accents and all.  There is also a Wampanoag Homesite.  It's pretty cool and I think we will be returning there before we leave MA.  I apologize...this post is kind of picture heavy.  :)

The best picture we have of the rock, not of Will.  ;)  It was an early morning for this sweet baby.  Thankfully Gma Dee was visiting, so she watched Will while we ran.

The "settlers" had just finished lunch, and the chickens decided they needed some too. :)
