Kickin' it Like a Kennedy in Cape Cod

Yeah baby!  After Plymoth, it was off to Cape Cod for some New England clam chowder and lobster tails.  Yum!

Cape Cod

I was happy to find that Cape Cod is much more humble than a simple southern girl like myself would have expected.  The little villages were absolutely charming, and I loved the tiny restraunts and shops along the coast.  What a wonderful place to spend a summer!

We had a wonderful time hitting the beach a low-tide.  There were hundreds of little tide-pools full of wildlife, perfect for exploring at sunset.  The only downside was the chilly wind...no wonder Cape Cod doesn't really start happening until May!

Pilgrimage to Plymouth

Lucy is on a mission into the unknown. Not knowing exactly where she is headed or what she will find when she gets there, on she travels in search of a better future for car buyers everywhere. Therefore, it was only appropriate that Lucy make a stop on Plymouth, MA in order to see the land of the origional Pilgrims.

Plimoth Plantation, Plymouth MA

Our first stop was Plimoth Plantation, a great live action museum and a great place for kids to learn about the life of the early pilgrims and native people of Massachusetts. They have recreated both an early colonial village and a Wampanoag homesite as they would have looked in the early 17th century.  The museum staff even spoke as if they were pilgrims.  Very educational.

Near Plymouth Rock is a recreation of the Mayflower--the ship that the pilgrims used to sail the Atlantic.  It is called the Mayflower II, and you can tour it.  I couldn't believe how small the ship was!  Those were very brave and hardy souls who sailed over!http://www.plimoth.org/features/mayflower-2/
