What a fun day we had in Plymouth where, as you know, in 1620, 102 pilgrims aboard the ship Mayflower sailed into Plymouth harbor and established what is considered to be the first permanent English settlement in the New World. Outside of exploring the town and many of the historic sites such as the Mayflower Society House http://www.themayflowersociety.com/museum, the Pilgrim Hall Museum http://www.pilgrimhall.org/, Mayflower II (the replica of the Mayflower), Plymouth Rock (which marks the spot where the Pilgrims are said to have first stepped ashore), the Jenney Grist Mill, the Spooner House, the Richard Sparrow House (the town's oldest home), Coles Hill , Burial Hill, and the First Parish Church in Plymouth, there was a Waterfront Festival with lots and lots of vendors! And that means lots of people too! The weather was beautiful (sunny and highs in the low 80's) so we took lots of pictures which, by the way, are still uploading so I will just attach a link to them instead of posting them now.
We had the best dinner at Blue-Eyed Crab, sitting next to the cutest and most enjoyable couple from Duxbury, David and Lei. Wish we had had more time to get to know them...visiting with them was like the "icing on the cake" after a perfect day!
