New England Tour continued...Plymouth Plantation, Plymouth Rock, and Mayflower II

Entrance to Plymouth Plantation.  We started with the Wampanoag settlement.

Kids looking at a canoe in the making.  They burn and scrape, burn and scrape until the canoe is hollow and shaped just right.

Meeting house...church was held here as well as all town meetings.  It also served as a lookout.

Haha. Leggings are good and dark ones are even better!

Loved the pictures. I want to go there. What is the story with the rock? I expected it to be larger...and by water.
