Jason and Maggie the blog: Salem Vacation

This is post that should definitely have made its way here back in August, but better late than never. Anyways Jay and I decided that amongst all of our wedding planning we needed a little break and we made our way up to Salem, Mass. However, when I think Salem I think Halloween so maybe now is the perfect time for this post. Anyways, since Jay and I wanted to escape form the world all well most of the pictures that we took were of our friend Mort. So to document our trip the places and thing we wanted to take pictures of we put Mort in.

So meet Mort!

After our drive up to mass we decided to take a little detour at a par where Mort decided he wanted to ride a bike.

As we kept on driving Jay actually spotted this tank on the side of the rode, so of course we had to take a picture, and Mort just had to steal the spotlight and hop into Jay's picture

Here is Mort, in his travel case which coincidentally is also Jay's camera bag!

Then as we were walking through downtown Salem, Mort spotted a Rita's which is a super awesome Italian ice place. They were even highlighting a new flavor "Swedish fish" which of course Jay and Mort were both very excited about!

Then Jay wanted to get a new hat so we ran into a hat store and Mort had fun trying on just about all the hats here are just a few!

So when we left the hat store we found this super cool fire alarm post that was just chilling outside in public.

Mort liked collecting stickers and after visiting the witch museum wanted to pose for the camera!

At the end of the first night Jay wanted to take a walking ghost tour, and Mort and I were both a little nervous about what we might see. Lucky for Mort he could cover his eyes, I had to keep my eyes open so I wouldn't fall on my face.

On day 2 of our trip, we decided to go see "cry innocent" which is a play that deals with the Bridget Bishop trial. Whats cool is that the beginning of the play takes place on the cobblestone streets in the center and then after they capture Bridget they drag her to the court house and as the actors shout out they are going to see a hanging everyone in the streets starts crowding together to go see the trial play out. The whole trial is very participation driven which was quite awesome. Now Mort not to be left out as we were running with the crowds to the court house he grabbed one of the townsmen and snuck a picture with him.

To end our weekend away we made one of the most important stops of the day at the one and only Ben & Jerry's!!!! I think Mort had a little to much fun though
