I love Salem, Ma

Ughhh its been too long :( Lately, I haven't had anything to really blog about...but nowww that I went to Salem and took some awesome pics I do..
...annndd soo this post will be heavily saturated with photos :)

So my favorite holiday came and went way too fast just like every year.  I wish Halloween could last forever.  I just love everything about it. wah... But what better place to go to celebrate Halloween...Salem, MA! We went the weekend before Halloween. I love it there and have been many times.

The first 3 pictures are just an awesome sunset in the back yard of my house that I had to share..



Before going Salem we went to visit Matt's aunt who lives in at a waterfront home in Marblehead, Ma.  It is absolutely gorgeous and I can't even imagine waking up everyday to enjoy that view.  It is just breath taking. 







Yup all of that water is her backyard...and this is the back deck that looks out onto the ocean... I could stand there alllll day. We stayed there for a few hours visiting and had some nice drinks before we went into Salem..

The first thing after we parked is we noticed a big group of people cheering so we went to see what it was all about.   It was an awesome juggler balancing on a tiered wobbly platform.  We just saw the end of the performance but he was really good and entertaining.  I wish I could have got his name to recognize him.

There were soo many people, but thats when I love it there...there are so many people dressed up..we walked around for a little bit and then got hungry.

MMM there is a Polish deli so we shared fresh potato and onion pierogis.  They were so delicious!!  I mean am 100% polish of course ;)

We then walked around the whole day looking at everything there was to see and going in the different stores.  Sometimes it was a little frustrating because there were lines just to go in the stores.  But it was worth it. 

We visited the Old Burying Point Graveyard which is the oldest burying ground in Salem

We noticed there were many coins placed on almost every gravestone.  I believe it is an old tradition to leave your respect to the person buried there.
This awesome tree was also in the graveyard.

After walking around more we got hungry again and shared a slice from Flying Saucer Pizza Company I wish I had taken a picture of the slice but we were so hungry by then there was no time to take a picture haha






This is the Friendship of Salem.  We went into town two different days so that is why one day the sky is gloomy and one is sunny with no clouds

The first night there the sky got really dark and weird looking...



But then we turned around and saw a perfect rainbow :)




Double rainbow...alll the way across the skkyy

and then the sky set into an amazing sunset
As we were still walking around we finally came to the Salem Witch Museum.  We only went into the gift shop part as the line into the museum was about a mile long.




Well that was the end of visiting Salem for the first day :(  
The next day we walk around Salem again for a few hours and then found a nice beach in Swampscott, Ma to walk on since it was such a nice day out.


Well that is all from our 2 day mini vaca to Salem, Ma.
