Darby and Grayson excited to tour the JFK Presidential Library!
Kennedy wins the Democratic Presidential Nomination for 1960
Presidential Seal of the United States of America
The Presidential Library was designed by I.M. Pei
One of JFKs many powerful quotes
At the end of the self-guided tour ... the beautiful library overlooks Boston and the water

Lunchtime at Red's Sandwich Shop in Salem, MA
We stopped here to see a film and get an introduction
to the history of Essex County
Grayson, Mark, and Darby checking out the Witch Trial Memorial
Darby sitting on one of the benches commemorating each life lost
during the Salem Witch Trials... the goal of the memorial is quiet contemplation

Another view of the Memorial
Apparently there are also pirates in Salem!
Grayson and Jonna walked down by the dock to see the ships
A look at the Salem Maritime National Site
Grayson at the Salem Maritime Historic Site
Inside the Maritime visitors center, we learned that the first Christian missionaries
to travel abroad spreading Christianity were Baptists that left from Salem!
