I'd like to defend the Rock! Yes, it's comical that such a surprisingly small rock is encased in such a grand mausoleum, but chunks of this historic pebble have been chipped away for centuries by souvenir hunters and two additional pieces are housed in museums around the country.

Plymouth, MA, is such a charming town with a beautiful seaside backdrop. It's largely overlooked because of its proximity to Cape Cod--a place that dominates MA tourism in the summer--but it deserves a little more praise. Lots of affordable restaurants overlooking the water, long stretches of beach, sailboats for miles, neatly landscaped green spaces for picnics and walks...I could go on. There's even an old courthouse from 1749 where John Adams used to argue cases. I love it!
