Mayflower

 

I almost forgot to put in the pictures from the Mayflower. We toured it the same day as Plimoth Plantation.

Here are some of the kids and me, taking the scenic route to the Mayflower.  See its masts over there to the left?

  getting ready to climb aboard!

Noah wished he could sail it for a day.

Olivia looking out onto deck from the sailor’s area.

I realize this is a very dark picture – but I included it to show you just how dark the conditions were for the Pilgrims – for 3 months.  It took a minute for our eyes to adjust to it.

They had some re-enactors here.  See the man in the red mop-cap? 

On the dock, looking over at the water near where the Mayflower is tied.

Good-bye, Mayflower – and Plymouth!
