I visited Plymouth Rock with Mrs. Viii in 1984. I was really excited to see it. I mean, after all I had been hearing about it since grade school. I had never seen a picture of it, so in my mind I had envisioned a grand outcropping of rock onto which the Pilgrims first set foot.

I must admit that I was a little bit disappointed to see how small it was. It was not at all like I had imagined.

I’ll bet that they have to tie it down at night to keep people from stealing it. :-)
