Day 5: Heading to Cape Cod, Witch way?

Our plan was to end in Cape Cod.  Theresa found a nice mid point to take a break - Salem.  We stopped there to take in more history though only enough as the kids could absorb in one day.

After checking in at the visitor center and getting the scoop on what to see and do we headed off to The House of the Seven Gables.   The home was unique and our guide good.  He brought the home and its history alive.  We also learned that the building labeled birth place of Nathaniel Hawthorne was actually just moved right next door in the late 90's.  Where it was originally was made into a parking lot.


We then headed out into the town stopping at the Witch House.  Home of the judge who proceeded over the trials.  We also followed the red line around town and saw a bit of early history.   

Kasey found a rather unique, over stuffed bookstore.  We did manage to find 2 books to buy.

The day ended with ice cream and a 2 hour drive to our hotel in Yarmouth. 

Again, all the photos can be found here.
