Well, here is what we came to see! These were take in Mass. and all the leaves haven't changed yet. Maine and Vermont are supposed to be in peak color, so those trees should be beautiful!
This morning we went back into Boston to see the last thing on the Freedom Trail....the USS Constitution. The ship is really amazing and when you think that it was built over 265 yrs ago, and is still on active duty, it boggles the mind!!
Imagine sleeping in hammocks and having to duck as you walk around the ship?! You almost have to walk bent over. But the wood is really beautiful.
And the cannons are amazing. The people who show you around the ship are all active duty Naval personnel. They serve for 3 years on this ship and consider it a privilege.
This was a WWII battleship also at the Boston Naval Yard...he thinks he's cool!!!
Next we headed to Salem, MA....site of the witch trials. There is a monument to the people who were hanged because 3 children said that they had curses put on them.
There is also a VERY old cemetery...it dates back to the 1600's.
This time of year is called Haunted Happenings at Salem and there are lots of vendors, psychics and all sorts of witchy things going on. It was really cool. Wes got a bit tired and decided to take a short nap!!
It was a fun time in Salem but now we are on our way to Meine and New Hampshire!
