The Honeymoon
Well I wanted to share some more of the fun things that we did while we were there in the East on our honeymoon. We ended up going to Salem, Massachusettes and experienced some of the things they had that pertained to the Salem Witch Trials that happened in the 1600's. We got to go to a cemetary that is the second oldest cemetary and learned some interesting things about the people during the time of the Trials who were buried in the cemetary. Then we got to meet a woman who considers herself a witch and see her cast a spell. That was a little too weird for me, but whatever floats her boat. We got to go to the Witch Museum and get the timeline of the Witch Trials and then got a little tour about the timeline of Witches and how they have come about. Now the fasination with the Salem Witch Trials is that I learned about them in 10th grade and have thought about them ever since. We got to go to Boston, Mass and saw the Old State House where the Constitution was first read. Stephen was in heaven, he loves politics. We drove through 3 states one of the days, from New Hampshire to Massachuesettes to New Hampshire to Maine back to New Hampshire. We had baby back ribs and as strange as it may seem it was the very first time that I have ever had these and they were so delicious. I am recommending them to everyone, all who eat meat any way. The very last day we went to the beach and just lounged the day away. It was nice! Just relax and jump some waves, lay in the sand, watch the people. All the great atmospheres of the beach. Here are so more pictures of when we were in Salem, Boston, and at the Beach. I'm telling everyone you've gotta go to Maine, New Hampshire, or the East area in general. It's just a blast! :)

I love to go to Mass, that is where Cape Cod is, we have never gone to Salem, but I do remember learning about it and think it would be fun to go to one time. I am happy to hear that you had a great Honeymoon, we are sorry that we will not make it out in August, but we hope to see you in November and then you can meet little Addy. Good luck with everything.
I can read your blog! Thanks for changing the colors! It sounds so neat, the East! I am sure some day I will make it back.
Yay! My family and I went to Boston last year and LOVED it! It is one of my favorite family vacation memories! We actually went to that Salem Witch Museum... I totally recognize the gift shop in the picture where you are wearing a wizard hat! How fun! I bet you guys had the best time! Don't you love the east coast? I wouldn't mind living there if it wasn't so darn expensive!
Hi Julianne, I have not heard of Cape Cod? What is there? Stephen and I will have to go next year. I understand about you guys not being able to make it out in August but we will be here in November for Thanksgiving and the Hoopes reunion that you guys are in charge of, correct? Can't wait to meet little Addy. I've only seen a few pics and I would love to see more. Do you have a blog where there are pics of her and what's going on with you guys? Thanks for the comment its good to hear from you.
