Plimoth

One of the reasons we're camping at Wompatuck State Park is that it's between Plymouth (formerly known as Plimoth) and Boston.  So after mass (which was totally awesome, the music rocked, it was a family/kid oriented mass, and the homily was short and sweet with a nice prayer thrown in for good measure) we decided to just take the hop on over to Plymouth.  

That's it.  It's a chunk of stone with the year 1620 etched on it.  We did manage to catch the ranger's talk about the rock and the historical significance, which was nice.  There's also a statue of Massasoit to check out and a scarcophagus for the bones of those who didn't survive the first winter.  Other than that (and all the souvenier shops), there's not a lot going on.  The town is cool, though, and we had a blast looking around, though the visit was short.                                

And much like New Bern with their bears hanging out all over town, Plymouth has lobsters.  It was fun checking them all out.  If we had more time, it would have been fun to just walk around and take pictures of them all.  But we made the decision to make the trip out to Cape Cod and perhaps even have seafood for Father's Day.                                    

We lucked out and got to Sandy Neck Beach State Park after 5pm, so parking was free.  So we hung out, throwing rocks in the waves and looking for shells and crabs.  When we finished with the beach, we headed out to Arnold's Lobster & Clam Bar in Eastham, where we had some pretty kickin' seafood.  If you're ever in this area, they are seriously good.  Pricey, but seafood just is.  All in all, it was a good Father's Day.  I hope you all had a good one, too.
