We started our New England experience by learning about the pilgrims and visiting Plymouth Rock and a replica of the Mayflower ship.
At Plimouth Plantation, we explored the Wampanoag Village and the Pilgrim village where the actors dressed as pilgrims portray life in 1627.

When we were in Plymouth eight years ago, I had my very first whole Maine lobster in the Weathervane Seafood Restaurant in the harbor area.
The Weathervane Seafood Company started in 1969 as a little stand in the small town of Kittery, Maine and then opening restaurants in a few different locations in New England, including Plymouth. The lobsters were so good here that we had to come back.
Our return visit also included a taste of a special Mayflower beer from a local microbrewery. This amber ale was a delicious, pleasant surprise, and we preferred it to Sam Adams or other more well known varieties.
We started with a bowl of excellent New England clam chowder.
Of course, we had our delicious lobsters!
Our dinner at Weathervane Seafood Restaurant was very enjoyable and the fresh seafood was as good as I had remembered it.
