An Original Thanksgiving, Plimoth Plantation

Looking for an authentic & historical Thanksgiving experience? Return to the roots of Thanksgiving with "America's Thanksgiving Dinner" held at Plimoth Plantation. The dinners which feature a choice of a three course sit down meal or a buffet, also allow visitors to intereact with role-playing residents of the 17th century village and learn about the original Thanksgiving. Great experience for kids. For more information, visit their website, http://www.plimoth.org/.

Plymouth, "America's Hometown" also has a parade on Thanksgiving morning. Plymouth is only 30 minutes from the Tidewater. Don't forget, we still have a few rooms left for $59.99 per night.

Antiques on Cape Cod

Route 6A on Cape Cod is one of the most scenic routes of the Cape and this route is an antique lover's paradise. The road itself—also called the Old King’s Highway—is a treasure, lined with historic houses, ancient cemeteries, stone walls, views of salt marshes—and antique shops. Almost all of these shops are open year-round, but particularly in the off-season, it’s wise to call ahead. There's a great article on Cape Cod Life that gives information on antique shops along 6A:

Who would have thought that we would have world class figure skating on Cape Cod. On April 6th through the 8th, hundreds of skaters from all over the world will compete in the US Figure Skating-sanctioned second Nations Cup which will take in Hyannis! This will be the very first time the international Theatre on Ice event is held on American soil and the Hyannis Youth & Community Center (HYCC) will be the main rink where teams from as far away as France, Spain, Russia, Switzerland, Ukraine and Australia will compete. After the Olympic-style closing ceremonies and medal presentations, the fourth Theatre on Ice National Competition will take place on April 9 and 10. Thirty to fifty teams from all over the United States will be competing. Tickets are $45 till April 1, when they'll increase to $60. (There are discounts for seniors and students.)
