Go Blog or Go Home: Bawston/Salem (Part III)

11.15.2012

Ahhh. Have you ever heard of THE Salem Witch Trials? Of course you have! When Erica tossed the idea out there that we were going to SALEM...as in THE Salem Witch Trials and where parts of Hocus Pocus were filmed...I first thought, WHOA and then got REALLY excited. I mean, HELLO!? I was going to be in SALEM on Halloween weekend! Talk about crazy cool! There were SO many people there, dressed up, and in the complete spirit of Halloween. Some took it a little too far as you will see in a second, but overall, it was the most awesome people watching experience EVER. We got up early that morning and took a train (my first train ride, might I add) up north it was just, too cool for words.


 
Look close. I know we got a little too close for comfort and I just sat there and scratched my head. I don't think she fits the meaning of "lady" bug.



As we were walking back to the train...I looked up and there was a rainbow with prism like shapes in the sky. KINDA creepy right? It was directly above the middle of downtown Salem. (Insert eerie music here)

We took the train back to Boston and snuck in a little nap to get ready for Halloween. We dressed up as Honey Boo Boo's and Drew and Kurt were blind refs. If you follow any of us on instagram, you will see that we had a blast! We also met up with one of the Blue Man dudes from the show the night before. He was so nice and a good time was had by all! :)

The next morning, we took (sad) showers and packed our (sad) bags to go home. I seriously HATE goodbyes or "See ya laters!" because if I had it my way, these girls would be living right next door to me. Erica and Kurt were THE best hosts and the trip was just PERFECTLY planned. On our route to the airport, Hurricane Sandy was starting to sneak in slowly but surely and the skies were gray. I like to think it was just Boston's way of saying, "NO! Don't go!" We stopped by Fenway Park (baseball lover, right here!) and hopped out for a few photos.



 It was then time to hug it out and in Kurt and Drew's case...chest bump. Erica and Kurt, THANK YOU SO MUCH for one of the most amazing vacations I've ever had. I just love y'all! AND Kurt, if you'd hurry up and put a ring on it, we will be out there A LOT sooner don'tchaknow? ;) I miss y'all so much and I can't wait to come back and visit again. Sabrina...I love you. I had a blast in a glass with your pretty little self and can I just declare that I'm really looking forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks!?  :) :) :)
 BAM! & that's a wrap people! :)

Happy Halloween! :)

Happy Halloween ladies!

You're in for a treat today...

Back when I was a little girl, my Mother really got into the whole Halloween thing. Meaning, she LOVED making me costumes and dressing me up. I remember every year she'd try to out do herself from the year before that and would spent tons of time on making sure I had the best costume. It paid off most of the time, and I'd usually come home with the Best Costume Award. I honestly don't know if my Mom liked getting the award more than I did, but I do think she just got a thrill out making me look like a fool. My Mom never lacked in the creative department that is for sure. :)

I have a scrapbook that my Mom and I made together when I was 12 years old. I saw it at the top of my closet today and thought I'd reminisce a little bit. I was turning the pages one and a time and then...BAM. There was a Halloween page I had forgotten ALL about. What better way than to celebrate Halloween than by showing you the crazy costumes I had?

Oh yes. My Mom made every single one of my costumes by hand I kid you not.

Creative little mama isn't she? Gotta love it.

I already feel sorry for my children...Muahahahahaw.

Have a safe & Happy Halloween y'all!

Xoxo.
