Happy to be back home after another 1200 mile road trip. About 2400 all around. Sounds like you all had some pretty good time while I was away. Sorry about your truck WB and hope whatever comes next is great.
You've peaked my interest with those little toys Jules, may inquire more about them.
As for my trip... knocked two things off my bucket list. Seeing Niagara Falls and spending Halloween in Salem MA. Amanda, Shannon and myself decided we were going and we were going to drive. So much trou le happens on flights now afays wed spare ourselves that, and it allowed us to have a vehicle once we got there. We also figured costs would be about the same.
Anyways. I have to say that driving through Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut in October is stunning and jaw dropping beautiful. The colors and landscape left me in awe. We were all struck with the beauty. Wisconsin is passed peak color season and most leaves have fallen, and we weren't not expecting to see such beauty during the road trip. So so happy we drove.
Niagara falls wasnt on our plan, but we were driving a half hour away from it through buffalo and I said it's not that we should go see it. We have to go see it. So with a quick detour and Shannon FREAKING OUT going over that huge bridge we got to see those massive efalls in person. It was not what I was expecting. I was by no means disappointed just thought it was wider and more open. I loved being there seeing it first hand. We didnt stay long because we still have several hours on the road.
Shannon
HATES bridges. There was also one in New York on I-90 that runs along a train bridge that she nearly had a panicked attack over. She shut her eyes real tight and we hit a bump. Amanda said we were across, she opened them and then scream and yelled, "Oh, you fucking bitches!" We had a great laugh about that... well Amanda and I did anyways.
Two other things we didn't expect to see was a van burning on the side of the road in Ohio I think it was. The heat actually reached us on the other side of the highway as we drove passed. It was crazy, and it kind of triggered me from when I was in the Army. We also saw a traffic jam that must have been 10 miles long. People just stuck not moving sitting on the road and on the guard rails. Not sure what caused it, but it was massive. Feel bad for all those people, but glad we were going the other way.
Boston... boston doesn't go here. Boston goes in ruined my day...
Salem was crazy fun. Costumes, great food, delicious drinks, a coffee shop that stays open late at night. Walking tours and haunted houses. It was everything I was expecting and more. Street performers and shops to buy more witch stuff. Visited graveyards of those murdered during the witch trials and some of the more haunted locations. Parking wasnt always the easiest but we figured it out. A lot of women walking around dressed as the Sanderson Sisters, which is why we decided not to. Our costumes where quick simple. We couldnt pack a whole lot, so it was small stuff. Bodyauits with cat ears and tails... no not buttplug tails, and yes some drunk ass asked us... I also brought some wolf ears and tail. The tail is on a little belt if your wondering. I wore jeans with mine because it does get quite cold at night, booze helps a little.
Anyways. It was a fantastic trip, we did split the trips in half by spending the night in Eerie Pennsylvania so it wasnt 18 hours straight through even though we could have with three of us taking turns driving. Better safe than sorry.
Glad I'm back home though
