Thanksgiving with the Pilgrims

Last year we took a family vacation for Thanksgiving and visited Plymouth, MA.  Our kids were thrilled to see the real "Plymouth Rock" and also go on board the Mayflower II - a faithful replica of the original ship.  It was so small, though - I can't imagine sailing across the ocean in that tiny vessel!  Our favorite was Plimoth Plantation - a living history museum with a 1627 town, a Native American villiage, and a 17th century farm, complete with live animials which the kids just loved.  We rented a timeshare from http://www.redweek.com on Cape Cod, just 30 minutes from Plymouth.  Using the wonderfully equiped kitchen we cooked our traditional turky dinner, and then were able to walk it off with a stroll along the beach!  Just can't beat it!
