An Outing to Plymouth

Yesterday Matt and I met my sister, Elizabeth, and her husband, Bill, in Plymouth. We enjoyed the great weather as we toured Plimoth Plantation and then the main stretch of the Plymouth seashore.

At Plimoth Plantation

One of the highlights for Matt was the reconstructed winter house in the Wampanoag Homesite, where he got to touch deer, bear, raccoon, and skunk pelts.

Looking at one of the home gardens

Checking out the kitchen hearth in one of the 17th-century homes

Watching the chickens (another highlight)

Checking out the milking Devon cattle

More chickens...

Looking at the heritage breed goats and sheep in the barn

Enjoying a ride back up to the parking lot (he did a lot of walking!)

At lunch, making faces at the baby at the next table and waiting for his food

Checking out the Mayflower II

Curious why we stopped to see a big rock (yes, that's "Plymouth rock")

Matt decided not to nap on the way home, and since our driveway was under repair we went to one of our local playgrounds for the rest of the afternoon.
