Second stop: Plymouth Plantation & Mayflower II. This was pretty cool because the museum actually sets up the English plantation and Indian tribe area exactly as it looked like back in the 1600's. It was all interactive so when you asked any questions the dressed up characters all answered according to that time period. The Pilgrims landed in America on 
December 21, 1620. It is from around this time period that our annual "Thanksgiving" is derived from. So much rich history back there.

The Mayflower II (which is a replica of first one) was very small, hard to believe that it brought over some 103 English men and women to Plymouth, MA! This tour too had a few characters who dressed up during that time period. Glen asked much more questions than I did, but we won't bore you with all the details. This slice of our American history has been brought to you by the history nerds, G&S :).

From one history nerd to another--loved the pictures! You guys took my dream vacation (Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, and Cape Cod area) so I'll have to live the memories through you for a while till we make it back there! Miss you both so much and can't wait to see you in July!
