Ran up to Cranes beach and hung out for a couple hours enjoying the sun and surf.  Beautiful beach owned originally by the plumbing magnate Crane.  We drove up to the house but it was closed for a private event.

On the way back, we stopped at Salem, MA – the site of the Salem witch trails.  Also the site of Nathanel Hawthorn’s home.  We stopped by the House of 7 Gables and his own home (which was moved next to the 7 gables house when the original site was slated for destruction).  Great tour and definitely worth seeing.
