What’s more fun that spending a day in Salem right before Halloween? Brett and I were in Boston for vacation two weeks ago and took the ferry over to Salem for a day. It was our first trip to New England and the weather was perfect. We went on a Wednesday and it was quiet. I had heard the weekends at night were crazy packed. It was a small quaint town and was easy to walk around
Many of the alley ways were decorated.
A few of the markers at the Witch Trail Memorial gardens. There were twenty benches in all marking each name of the victims. Someone had come before me and laid flowers on each bench.
One of the cemeteries in Salem, this one was opened in 1637 and is one of the oldest in the country. Most of the information engraved on the headstones were so worn down that you couldn’t read them.
Brett and I spent 5 days in Boston so I’m going to be boring you with my vacation shots. I took a ton of pictures.

The town definitely has an interesting past! Great photos of the decorations. I look forward to being bored with your vacation snaps 🙂
I’m so glad to see you at ‘My Corner of the World’ this week!

I’ve visited Salem in October before and it certainly has the spooky history and fun places to explore. Thanks for trip to the past.
