Massachusetts is for lovers (Do not think of emo songs)
The trip was really lovely. Salem is a town that has Halloween all year long, haunted houses in December! Mrs. Kinter stole these cups with bats on them from one of the seafood restaraunts we went to. I walked out to the car with her and Katie thinking we were getting the camera and as we open the trunk she says "Shaunie..we're doing something bad" and pulls out two glasses. It was pretty funny.]
As much as I do tend to adore them, I've learned that the Kinter family as a whole is pretty LOUD. That was uncomfortable at times, just because I can be extremely mellow and quiet, but for the most part I think I enjoyed the personality and humor. Nights in the hotel were best, listening to Katie and her sister Carly argue over the thermastat, who would be able to use the shower first, and a lot of other pointless trivial things. Carly reminds me a lot of Almeda, except I like her more. Probably because she's not my sister..I don't blame Katie for resenting her.
Sunday we went to drive to Gloucster (?) to see the Ocean. It was amazing. It really does make you feel small. It also reminded me of Pirates which reminded me of Nicole. I really wished she could of been there, I know she would have loved every detail. ESPECIALLY the Pirate Museum, I loved the mural on the wall. I'll try and post it once I upload that set of pictures.
Katie, her brother Kyle, her sister Carly, Kyle's friend Mack, Travis (Carly's boyfriend) and I all climbed up on stones that went far out into the water and collected shells. It was perfect...almost. I wish it would have been warm enough to swim.
All in all it was a good trip. I saw and learned a lot in just the couple days we were there. I wish I got to travel more. Later days I guess.
