October is here and that means pumpkin spice everything, sweater weather, shorter nights and of course HALLOWEEN!! And being from the New England area, we think of Salem….the mecca for all things ghoulish & gruesome; ghosts and goblins galore and of course, the witch trials. Ahhhhh yes. 31 days of Ghostober has begun. My husband and I try to go to Salem every year, preferably at the end of September or the beginning of October. We refuse to go near Halloween, cuz it is carazayyyy there with people from all over the world visiting, long lines and foot traffic at a standstill. It is a lot of fun seeing everyone dressed up in their costumes and enjoying all that the area has to offer. So, this past Sunday, we took the 45 minute ride trip to the ‘no man’s land’, even though the weather was cloudy & a lil chilly with a little bit of rain. People were still everywhere dressed to play the part. And you already know I had to join in and dress in a fun, bold, bright, and kinda ‘wacky’ jacket to add to the scene. There were vendors and small businesses selling their food and merchandise at the commons, all while a one person band played tunes in the gazebo. I will say though, despite the weather, it was still the perfect Sunday to spend in Salem ๐
