Salem, Massachusetts.

I was named after my great grandfather Thomas Grant Bemister.  He lived in Carbonnear, Newfoundland for most of his life.  He ended up moving to Salem in the early 1900's and lived in this house;

where my grandfather was born and raised.  There is a graveyard across the street so we decided to see if my great grandfather was there.  He wasn't but we did find him in the Salem Town Cemetery.

While we were in Salem we visited one of the many witch museums.  We also went to The House of Seven Gables which is located on the coast and has breathtaking views of the ocean.  On our way there we stopped by the Salem Maritime National Historic Exhibit to see the ship Friendship.
