We were all very tired from moving in the night before so even Grandpa slept in a little! It rained when we moved in December and it was raining here when Kent and Noelene came with our things too. Brad and Kent were SOAKED. They unloaded things into our living room while Noelene and I tried to wipe them off. David was being a crank and wouldn't play with his cousin Megan upstaris he had to be involved in the action I guess. What STRESS! Some reinforcements from a neighboring ward (also BU dental students) arrived just in time to help with the heavy furniture and then with the piano. By the time everything was moved in and Devin (Brad's brother) was picked up from the trian station it was after midnight.
I really should have posted pictures of the Native and English people that we got to see at the plantation...but I went with the cute photos. I thought the English village was the best part. Kent got really into quizzing the people and trying to get them out of character. They act like they are in the plantation in a certain year in the 1600's. They did a really great job and we all had fun asking them questions. We got some suprising answers. Megan really liked the Native village though. The people in the village aren't actors but ancestors of local tribes. I'm glad I didn't have to live at Plimoth though--I am all for modern conveniences.
Beautiful view of Plimoth Bay from the Mayflower II.
Our little family on board the Mayflower II. I think the men and boys especially liked the different ships that we saw. I have a pass that allows me to go back to Plimoth and the Mayflower for a whole year and I get to bring a guest in for free so if you visit I promise you admission to the plantation.
Kent and Megan. She got to come on the two week adventure with her Grandparents.
After our trip to Plimoth we went to Legal Seafoods to celebrate Noelene's birthday. I had the best clam chowder I've ever tasted and everyone enjoyed the dinner except for my poor niece who dosen't really like seafood. I bought a cheescake and candles and envisioned doing something resembling a little party when we got home but we just ended up eating the cheescake for breakfast the next day. Oh well, the thought counts right?
