Salem, MA

Thankfully I had extra vacation days left at the end of the year and could take off some time after Christmas.  This may be my new favorite time to travel.  Christmas is over, but it's still decorated.  And not a lot of people go on vacations this time of year.

This was my first trip to the New England area.  I'm sure it won't be my last.

If I could only use one word to describe my feeling of Salem, it would be peaceful.

I think I found my happy place!

One of the best places to get a good history lesson on the Salem Witch Trials.
