Next stop on our patriotic pilgrimage

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.

  1. 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.
