Salem, Massachusetts

Jess turned 40 this year, and she wanted to do something fun and interesting for her special day, so her family and Nel's family and Nel's sister-in-law's family all traveled to Salem, Massachusetts.  They had a great time exploring, and I wanted to share with you some pictures of her journey to Salem, a place where she's always wanted to visit.

How exciting it was for the girls to go into the cockpit since it was Charlotte's first flight.



Brian took this picture of an extraordinary spider web!



One of Jess' favorite activities was going apple picking at a nearby farm.๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ  Here are the girls burying themselves in a corn kernel "beach."



One night, they came across this Speakeasy bar that had a hidden bookshelf door.

This is all of them at a central park in Salem, and one of the film locations of Hocus Pocus.

The most charming houses they saw, and this delightful purple pumpkin sat on the railing of one of the houses.

Francesca and Mia collected leaves in the stroller.

This white house is another Hocus Pocus sight - Allison's House.



They had a fantastic time on their trip - had a wonderful dinner one night, and went on a ghost tour.

Dang, I was almost done with my comment and I lost it!
Great that the family can explore new places and things together. That was a real spider he found - would scare me to death.
I think that was so cute the girls were able to sit in the cockpit. Also cool to see some Hocus Pocus set sites. I love to go to apple orchards myself. I LOVE that purple pumpkin. Did they see any ghosts on the tour? LOL
Looked like a lot of fun!

What a very special trip for Jess. I would love to visit in that area someday. I went back and looked at each photo at least a couple of times. they are all great...from the girls sitting in the cockpit, to the amazing spider web! This looks like a beautiful place to be right now, especially with all the halloween themes all around. Yay! I am happy you shared this today.
