Explore Your Inner Witch in Salem

You won't regret it

The Black Witch House

Salem isn't a place that is for the faint of heart. There are some spooky vibes and weird feelings in certain areas, but if you are a spooky fan than go. This is a place should be on your bucket list to go. There is so much history to be felt here. If you are a baby witch like myself, this is a perfect place to dip your toe into. If you are a foodie on a budget like my husband, this is a place to go as well. Do yourself a favor and don't stay in a hotel. Rent an AirBnB because you won't be disappointed. My husband and I stayed at this updated colonial house and it was beautiful plus its perfect on a budget.

The amount of history surrounding Salem, Massachusetts is something to behold. You feel the history walking around the houses and the downtown area. Places like the House of Seven Gables, the Black Witch House, and the Bewitched statue are the places to go. The House of Seven Gables inspired the work by Nathaniel Hawthorne and the house itself is amazing to take a tour in. You explore everywhere in the house. The Black Witch house is the only house surviving the Salem Witch Trials in Salem whereas the other places are in the nearby town of Danvers. Did you know that Salem was cut in half later and created the town of Danvers? I didn't know until I went on a town of the town.

The food quality and the charm of the food is amazing in Salem because everywhere you look in the downtown area there are tiny restaurants that offer variety. There was a bar called Mercy Tavern that caught our eyes with all of the rainbow flags and all of the colorful outside decor. One guy was working the tables of the restaurant/bar because of how tiny it was. The drinks and the food were amazing and they load up your plate. We went to another restaurant called the Ugly Mug diner for a late lunch and it was amazing. It's only open until 2pm and the food had the best breakfast food in the North East because as a southern girl, I'm picky about breakfast. What caught our eye was the Transgender Flag that was in the window. My husband and I had to go investigate.

Lastly our AirBnB was an updated colonial style house that had been converted into three apartments. That's how big it was. The house itself had a vintage overall vibe. It wasn't too updated and it wasn't completely original. I loved exploring all parts of the house. There was a haunted vibe to it also. The closets where amazing and there was a tiny closet within the master bedroom closet. It was so precious. I experienced my first day in 20 degrees and I loved it. Being bundled up and walking around with the crisp air was so much fun.

I would consider this trip to be my favorite because of all the things I was able to experience in this sleepy town. I can't wait to go back. If you like the sleepy little town vibe, then I would suggest going to Salem.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
