Spooky in Salem!

Hi guys, long time no see! With Halloween right around the corner, I had to make sure I got an extra-spooky post up!

Recently, my friend Penny and I payed a visit to Salem, Massachusetts in honor of the spirit of Halloween. We saw the filming locations of our favorite seasonal movie, Hocus Pocus, including Max and Dani’s house, Alison’s house, the cemetery where Billy Butcherson chases the kids and the town hall where Winifred Sanderson sings her iconic rendition of “I Put a Spell on You”. People all over town were dressed in their Halloween finery, which was so much fun to see as well. Check out the pics below to see a few moments of our creepy-fun adventure!

Your Autumn Adventure Guide!

Processed with VSCO with c1 presetProcessed with VSCO with c1 presetProcessed with VSCO with c1 presetProcessed with VSCO with c1 presetHi guys! I’m a sucker for a good adventure. For those of you like me, you’re in luck! Today, I’m talking all about cool ways to go adventuring in the crisp fall weather. Adventure seekers, read on!

Idea #1: Go for a Hike!

Hikes are amazing. They’re such a great way to clear your mind. I’m really not a fan of conventional workouts either, so hiking is an effective way for me to stay active while having fun! Hikes with friends usually lend themselves to deep conversations as well, so all the more reason to embark on the journey!

Idea #2: Scenic Drives

There’s nothing like driving down the scenic route with the windows down, listening to your favorite fall playlist. Here’s mine.

Idea #3: Go to a Family Farm!

Family farms have so much to offer in the fall. As an iconic fall tradition, pumpkin picking is super fun to do with friends. You can paint, carve, or eat it afterward (the seeds that is!). You can also get lost in a corn maze and pick apples.

Idea #4: Explore Salem, MA

This is something I’ve always wanted to do. Salem, Massachusetts is known for its witch trials in the Puritan age. In October, the town goes all out for Halloween. In addition, Salem was the filming location for the movie “Hocus Pocus”, so visitors can see the actual house where the movie was filmed! Furthermore, Salem offers night walking tours so you can see the town in all of its spooky glory.

Idea #5: Discover a New Coffee Shop

Coffee shops are my favorite aesthetic for fall. These days, it seems like there’s a Starbucks on every corner (not that that’s a bad thing, I love me a nice Horchata almond milk Frappuccino). However, it’s always fun to find a cute, artsy coffee shop that’s unique. Do a little Googling and see what you can find!

I hope you’re inspired to have your own adventures this season! Let me know in the comments what you like to do in the fall!

See you next post!
