Ever done the tourist rounds in New England? Made it to the monument at Plymouth Rock? Been… underwhelmed? Well, just imagine what kids on school trips think of it: no wonder it made a list of ten lame landmarks.
Come to think of it, I don’t know why Indians come to protest here every Thanksgiving, all mournful-like. Why bother? They’ve got a memorial that, even unfinished, is already impressive.

Plymouth Rock is a major letdown. I went there with a bunch of kids years back, and the general sentiment among all of us was “rock in a hole, big deal”. I wouldn’t waste my time traveling a long ways just to see it. However, Plimoth Plantation and the Mayflower II are definitely must-sees if you have school-age kids.
