My trip to Plimoth
I think the Plimoth Plantation trip was very fun and easy to learn from. First? A 5-hour bus ride. Next? A tour around the place. After that? Mayflower 2! Details? Interesting. It’s a copy of the Mayflower, and it has role-players like John Billington. Then we went to a Wampanoag home site and saw People dressed up like their Wampanoag ancestors. Really cool. There was even a girl who looked like she was around four, and a baby. That was enough, so then we got used to the visitor’s center. We took a look at the place we would sleep in. It was nice, and quite a bit small. It didn’t look like it would hold all of us. It did. But that’s later. We did a fire drill, and went to 17th century dinner. Interested in the menu?

Well, a typical 17th century menu ( if they even had them) probably wouldn’t look like that. But that’s a typical 17th century dinner (without the beer) and that’s what we had for our dinner. After dinner there were some evening activities, like 16th, 17th century games, outdoor things, etc. then we had two teachers tell stories; one from a book, one out of memory. After that we went to sleep with no showers.
When we woke up it was fun to walk around in bare feet. But before you knew it, it was time to start the day. We packed, had breakfast, visited the gift shop, and got ready to go to Plimoth Plantation. At the fake village, it looked just like a real one. There were houses, people with old-fashioned clothing, gardens, barns, and even real animals! Sadly, It suddenly was time to go. I loved the, well, the everything! It was one of the best field trips EVER!
