Part 2, The Willows and Lowell


We spent a somewhat rainy day at the Willows, enjoying taffy, rides, and skeeball.



Will getting ready to have his first carousel ride





The Willows carousel is very fast. Even though Will enjoyed it, next time we'll do a stationary horse.

After a day having fun in Salem, we decided to go to the National Historic Site in Lowell dedicated to the textile industry and the Industrial Revolution. We had never been before, and it proved to be a very good time.

Waiting for the trolley










On our way out of Lowell, we drove by some shooting areas from The Fighter and Jack Kerouac's grave.


The Eisentrauts were thrilled with the company. You can tell we live and play near a cemetery.
