Boston Day #12

We decided to take a train out of the city today! Our town of choice was Salem. So much history, we couldn't wait to soak it all in. We took a short subway ride to the commuter train station and arrived a little early. They had a DD in the train station, perfect!! Cory and I got coffees and shared a Big and Toasty. The girls each got some donut holes. All were happy. 

We hopped on our train and got comfortable for the 30 minute or so ride to Salem. 



Talk about a view on the way up! Tay caught some great pics! 





I had no idea how pretty this town was going to be, it was like it was right out of a Nicholas Sparks book! We took a trolley around the town and stopped at all the historical sights. The tour guide we had was so full of Salem knowledge, it was awesome. We walked around afterwards, went in a couple museums, ate lunch, and soaked up the sun. It was beautiful weather out. We came across the first candy store in all of America! We bought Blackjacks, a type of candy that they used to make back then and still do to this day. It was a great day to be out! 












As we were walking towards the train to get home, we saw in the distance a huge storm coming. We thought to ourselves, hope this storm waits until we get on the train! Nope, it blew right over us! The worst thunder and lightning I have EVER heard! Rained and was so windy. Thank goodness we were under something or we would've gotten soaked! As soon as we got on the train we took this picture, it was sorta like ahh, we made it, picture:)


Of course as soon as we were pulling away...blue sunny skies! Stopped at a place called, The Fours, by TD Garden for dinner. Def hit the spot! 





One of the only ways these days to get through a meal, peacefully. Watching a movie with headphones:) 

We are home and all ready for bed. Tomorrow us our last full day in Boston and honestly, I'm really going to miss it. But knowing we will be back is what will get me through!
