Plimoth

Justin Blake was nearly fifteen an only child of baby boomer teachers and gifted. He had always been very close to his parents and had spent most of his summers going on educational vacations with them. He was probably the brightest and most well read student in his school. Because of his avid reading of histoical books and love of literature he was labeled the class geek. This was beginning to take its toll on him. He decided it was almost a handi-cap being as bright and as as gifted as he was. He felt like a freak and desperately wanted to fit it with his peers. Justin decided it was time to put some distance between himself and his overly-educated parents. His parents were upset and taken off guard when he became rebellious and defiant and began pushing them away. He was mastering the art of sarcasm on them. Justin so wanted to be vacationing this summer with his newly acquired best-friend Brian at the new theme park in Florida Medieval World. Instead he was going with ...'Mommy and Daddy' to visit Plymouth...the Mayflower Miles Standish and Governor Bradford. But don't forget Squanto...the ever faithful Indian friend of the Pilgrims who helped them make it through the first winter. He lets his parents have a heavy dose of his resentment on the way to Plymouth. His mom is deeply hurt saying What is going on with your these past few weeks? Sometimes I feel like I don't even know my own son! Justin's emotions come to a head as he lashes out and yells Bingo! You've just won the Double Jeopardy question! You're right Mom you don't know your own son! A major confrontation occurs in the parking lot between Justin and his dad as his mom goes ahead to get the tickets. Justin runs off ahead of his parents heading for the village part of the museum. He climbs a tree and observes two Pilgrim interpreters far under him on the ground. They are soon joined by his parents. After the interpreters walk away his parents talk about him which angers Justin
