You are so adorable!<br /><br />What a neat visit - and such interesting history!<br /><br />One of my fav things is to visit old cemetaries and read the dates and names.

In fact, I lived in Salem a few times in my life and grew up in Marblehead, which is the next town from Salem. It is fun there in October....but not if you aren't a tourist and you just need to get through town. We can't wait till November when you all go home. :) But I'm glad you had a nice time because it's a beautiful place. aspiritofsimplicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14870339828098281415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7053986543705183158.post-18257011016084448332015-10-17T11:02:26.430-07:002015-10-17T11:02:26.430-07:00Looks like you had a really fun trip..loving the t...Looks like you had a really fun trip..loving the twig village of course!And the long long [appears to be] Vine covered arbor with table/chairs -reminds me I have similar [tho smaller] project to finish on my patio...I hope, I hope.
