Saturday we drove 40 minutes North to Salem - the infamous witch town. It turns out that the witch craft was a whole lot of hysteria and there was no witch craft - surprise!
We visited the Witch Dungeon Museum, which wasn't really a museum at all, but had reconstructed the cells that the accused would have been held in back in those days, some smaller than a phone booth! In total, 19 people were hung and one man crushed to death all accused of witchcraft.

After Salem, we drove another 2 hours North to Portland, Maine. Portland was a really cute town. We stopped and had some lunch and a browse around, before taking a scenic drive another 1 hour north.
We got home fairly late, so after a yummy bowl of Pho we went to bed.
Sunday morning we went for a drive to Cambridge to have a look at Harvard University and Harvard Square. From here we went to the oldest baseball stadium in the USA - home of the Boston Red Sox.

I saw Auntie Julies comment I also wondered what the heck is Pho and what is the correct pronunciation Mum (B)
