We finally realized a long-term goal of mine — to spend Halloween in Salem! To make it easy to join the festivities, we reserved space in a nearby campground on Winter Island, across the bay from Marblehead and a short 20 minute walk from downtown.

Today started out a bit misty, so we headed indoors to learn about the history of Provincetown and climb the Pilgrim Monument.
Perhaps the most important thing they want you to know right away is that the pilgrims landed HERE first! (They’re pretty serious about this…)

During our stay in the Green Mountains, we decided to explore a few sites suggested by Atlas Obscura. Our first stop was the Bridge of Flowers.

Today we made our way south to the beautiful area around Bennington, Vermont. What a wonderful surprise this place is!

As you can see, she was excited. This was on her bucket list. So she photobombed every one of my photos.
