Labor Day 2008

This weekend Chase and I headed up to a few New England states for a Labor Day adventure. Total states visited: Massachusetts, New Hampshire, & Maine

Friday 8/29, Our weekend began with a fun bus ride to Boston where we then picked up our handy Zip Car and headed straight to Salem, MA.

Saturday 8/30, we walked around Salem and went to 3 museums on the Salem Witch Trials + 1 on pirates. Learned lots and got spooked from some of the museum displays (some were rather graphic). Then that night we attended a "Haunted Pub Crawl" if you will where they took us around town in a trolley and told us stories of ghosts while making some pit stops at a few haunted pubs.

Sunday 8/31, we got up early and headed to Kennebunkport, ME. As advised by most New Englanders, we took a more scenic route along the beaches on our way. The weather was absolutely wonderful (no Gustav up here) and the houses were simply beautiful. I think we ended up taking more pictures of the houses than anything else. Once getting to Kennebunkport, we went to the beach for a little bit, walked around town, ate some delicious fudge, and then headed to Portland for dinner.

Monday 9/1, we ate breakfast at our Bed & Breakfast, drove around one more time, and then headed back to the Boston area to catch our bus back to NY later that afternoon. Since we got back early, we decided we would take a pit-stop by Cambridge, MA and walk around Harvard University. Who hasn't always wanted to do that, right? I feel smarter now.

Then we caught an early bus back to NYC and ended our lovely weekend. Overall, a very successful and fun trip. Check out our other pictures from the weekend at: http://photos.jordanandchase.com/GalleryThumbnails.aspx?gallery=119788
