Heather and I walked all day in Salem. I absolutely LOVED walking by this house, knowing something historic was nearby!

We came across the Old Burying Point Cemetery, where many people involved in the Salem Witch Trials were buried. Walking here gave me an eerie feeling. Ahhh, I just love history though. Seriously, I am such a history nerd. I LOVE seeing historic sites and having that feeling you get just WALKING through something historic. Being NEAR something historic. I don't care what emotion I get-happy, sad, scared-I just love it!

There is a memorial for the people who died in the witch trial. It was very depressing to be around.

I would've hated living back then. Can you imagine losing a child, sister, mother, brother, father, friend by them being hanged or pressed to death??? And not being able to do a thing about it without the fear of being killed yourself. How awful.

This was RIGHT outside the cemetery. Completely morbid. Seriously. But I've always wanted a picture like this. They should really move it to a different area though. I felt very disrespectful.

Right as we were leaving Salem, we saw this house. I can't for the life of me remember what it is. Possibly the judge of the witch trial's house??? Nevertheless, it was closed :(

Salem is SUCH an historic city. I would highly recommend going here.

Derby Square Book Store is a MUST if you're in Salem. Seriously. A MUST.

Um, hello heaven.

There's NO SHELVING. All the books are just piled on top of each other!

I'm pretty sure they hire a guy just to pick up books when people drop them :)

This is where you purchase your books. You hand them through this LITTLE area to the cashier :)

I just love Salem. You never know what you'll find around the next corner :)

Wynott's Wands is in Salem, MA. It is an awesome shop, for Harry Potter fans :)

Heather couldn't stop saying "Oh my gosh!" :)

There's another shop in Salem, the name I can't remember, but it also has Harry Potter items you can purchase. 

If you're ever in Salem, these are definitely places to shop at. 

While researching Boston and the surrounding areas, we found that the Louisa May Alcott's house was less than an hour away in Concord! 

What we didn't research was the time it opened...we got there an hour early and really didn't want to waste our day just waiting. We peeked in all the windows though :) It was awesome!

While turning around on a street nearby, we came across Ralph Waldo Emerson's house :) 

Then we were on our way to Salem....first stop? The oldest candy store in America :) :) :)

I was a bit disappointed in the candy selection, but I still managed to walk away with a $40 bag of candy...

The Friendship :)

Next up? Wynott's Wands :D :D :D If you're a fan of Harry Potter, you'll LOVE this shop!
