Salem, MA

We planned on going to Salem last Saturday, but we decided to postpone it because of all the homework I had. So, after Beth got off work at noon, we drove north to Salem!




Our first stop was one of the various Witch museums (which was okay, not great); then we needed a snack!: Fried Dough, which is kind of like a funnel cake. Tasty!
And then to cemetery to find old gravestones.









We wandered around for a while, looking in some shops, until we stumbled upon the only remaining house directly related to the Witch Trails. When we got there, it was closed; but we got to take a picture of the outside!






After a few hours of walking (and getting very cold from the Autumn wind), we decided to take off, because we wanted to visit an old Mental Hospital in Danvers, MA. Last year, at Drew University, we watched s scary movie called "Session 9" that was filmed there; but, to our dismay, it had already been demolished and now contains an apartment complex. Below is an old picture of it I found on the Internet.



Supper at Qdoba and a quick stop at Starbucks for some warm drinks, and we were on our way home!
