I think they do re-enactments on a regular basis but I don't know how often. It was on the beach and included a tent with young woman dressed as a Native American who was weaving bracelets and trading them for food. You could purchase the food (with modern money!) cheaply to use for barter. Your kids would have liked it. I think Seaside would be a great family destination if you don't mind a little glitz. I love that you can so easily get away from the more commercial aspects, but even they are attractively presented. It's a pretty old town with a lot of charm.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146578985330272891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-2807199319046878012012-09-18T19:23:03.720-07:002012-09-18T19:23:03.720-07:00There's so much great information in this post...There's so much great information in this post.
