We didn't plan or think ahead and considering it was October, Salem MA was SOOOOO busy. We didn't even have a chance of getting into the museum and I didn't do enough research to know what else there was to see. So we will have to come back another time. But there was some sort of cool ceremony occurring in the park across the street. Loud guns!
We walked around a little and saw some creepy things and odd people.
The 'Witch' house
We then headed up to see the Boston LDS Temple
It was closed so we couldn't go on the grounds but snapped a few photos from the gates.
Drove around Fenway Park
We drove around Harvard then we headed downtown. We parked and walked quite a bit of the freedom trail and then drove the rest.
I love a good saxophone player. Will gave him a dollar and he insisted that Will hold his instrument and snap a picture. Will loved it!
We got trapped into a street show. Total waste of time... ugh. But Dale got to participate and was forced to give them $20. Live and you learn.
Paul Revere's Home
Paul Revere statue
Boston Tea Party
Then we drove down to Plymouth Rock
The Mayflower was unfortunately not there as it's getting fixed in Connecticut. But we did see the rock and lots of lobster statues.
Pretty anti-climatic considering they don't necessarily know exactly where they landed. And it certainly wasn't on this rock. But fun history none-the-less.
However this was pretty neat. This is called "The Forefathers Monument" Its the worlds largest solid granite monument and is dedicated to the pilgrims. The Statue of Liberty was actually based off of this statue of "Faith".
