Salem, MA

On the road again.  We left Niagara Falls around 8:30 last night and drove about half way to Salem.  We needed fuel again, so we stopped at a truck stop and just ended up parking the RV there and sleeping for the night.  Amazingly, this truck stop had a full fledged Starbucks inside, so we started our day with some Venti coffees and hit the road again.  We've been using the WAZE app to direct us.  This app, however, does not account for the size of your vehicle.  At one point, it led us off the Interstate, due to slow traffic, and through a narrow streeted Boston suburb.  Lesson learned.  Jason did a great job of navigating us through, though.  We arrived at Winter Island, just east of Salem early this afternoon.  It is beautiful here.  The RV park here was a former Coast Guard air station and is right on the water.  There is a beautiful lighthouse here with a boat dock and a few beaches.

Jason and Curtis took on the task of taking the RV to dump the waste.  Thankfully, this did not turn out like it did in the Robin Williams movie, RV.  They got us situated in our spot while Sheri and I took the kids to explore the Island.  The kids loved climbing on the rocks and watching the boats.  We threw their swimsuits on and took them down to the beach.  The water is freezing, but it definitely didn't stop them.

We just finished dinner and are tucked in for the evening.  Off to Boston tomorrow to walk the Freedom Trail...
