Not quite sure what we were expecting, but it wasn't this mausoleum. I think on the plaque it said pilgrims landed here and killed the rock and now this is it's eternal resting place, who knew. By the way, that is Ginger standing inside.
This is the actual rock itself with "1620" carved into it and to lend some perspective I have crouched down in front. Now granted, I have a huge melon for a head, but the rock is tiny. I think that with a really good grip and some stretchy pants, I could lift that thing. The best part is that there are all these pennies that are thrown around it like some kind of weird wishing rock. I just like the idea of people being confused by the fact that they actually chose to stare at a rock and then thinking there must be something more, so they pelt one of our oldest national treasures with pennies and turn it into the equivalent of a mall fountain.
Yes, I was voted most photogenic in high school, why do you ask? My gosh, what is going on here. It's like my own Benjamin Button happening and I've reverted back to my baby hair. Anyway, this was actually after visiting Plymouth, we headed down to the Cape and went to the tip and it was a little windy (hence the Bert and Ernie hairdo). On a side note, what's with highly prized coastline property being inundated with mini golf courses? I guess you go to the beach and suddenly you have a yearning for salt water taffy, bad driftwood art, and mini golf. So that was our Saturday outing, it was fun and hopefully next time we'll get to see something a little more unusual.

K, I'm laughing my head off... oh, too funny. Glad you guys had a fun outing.
WE THOUGHT THE SAME THING, TOO! I'm glad you guys are in our boat (pardon the pun), because I was feeling all unpatriotic for having such a big Plymouth Rock let-down.
That picture of Ginger in the Colosseum (or whatever that is) is a creepy stalker picture. The rock is so small! I thought it would at least be waist high. Ha ha, pretty funny.
The colosseum is pretty cool. I don't know if the rock is worthy being bared in. Yeah, it's way small than I would have thought.
LOL you guys are too funny. I was also shocked at the size of Plymouth Rock when I first saw it. It looks like people have been chipping away at it for the past 100 years. Of course the history books never gave any detail of how big the rock actually was.
You two could have a successful travel blog. I'm already looking forward to moving farther east so I can see the world's largest chair!
I had no idea it was so small. I'm glad I can live out all of my history classes through you guys. You will be so glad you did all of this exploring when you don't live there anymore.
Sam, you are so funny. I was seriously laughing out loud when I read this.
