Flashback Friday

In keeping with the theme of the holidays, my flashback Friday photo is Thanksgiving related. In 2004, my mom and I went on a trip to New England. We flew into NYC and spent a few days there. Then we rented a car and drove around the New England states. One of our stops was in Plymouth, Mass. We were there in October, and oh my golly was it cold. Seriously, it was bone chilling cold. The wind was blowing and it was horrible. We both said it was no wonder most of the pilgrims didn't survive the first winter. It was just downright awful weather. And this was just October, technically still fall. I wouldn't want to experience it in the middle of February. Anyway so here's this weeks picture...

Me, at Plymouth Rock. Its kind of disappointing actually. You expect a big rock that the Mayflower would have crashed into, and its just this little-ish rock. It's maybe 3 feet across...pretty hard to crash into that. Although we did visit a replica of the Mayflower and it was a pretty small ship. No way I would have crossed the Atlantic in that.

On the same trip, this was in Conneticut. The colors were so pretty, we pulled over and took a pic in someone's front yard. :)
