My favorite memory of the day was seeing the smile on Max’s face while we exchanged vows.

Max and I met fencing in the SCA, so there were many SCA members and fellow fencers at our wedding. One of them got his swords out of his car and they were a hit!

A Brief Stop in Salem

On our way back the airport we decided to make a quick detour to see Salem, Massachusetts.

A brick house built by Captain Nathaniel Brown in 1851. Today, it is spilt into six apartments.

Myself, dad, mom, and Jenny in front of the Salem Witch Museum.

The Daniel Bray House, built in 1766.

Lovely fall flowers decorating the windows of a house.

The view of Howard Street Cemetery.

St. Peter’s - San Pedro Episcopal Church.

Covered Bridges, Wilson Pond, and The Full Moon Over Keene

After apple picking we made some fun stops on the way back to downtown Keene. 

Jenny wanted to see some historic covered bridges and luckily we found two that were close to each other. This is Cresson Bridge, originally built in 1859.

Myself, Jenny, and Liz.

Carlton Bridge, rebuilt in 1869. The original bridge was built in 1789.

We had a lovely dinner at Otto’s in downtown Keene. Jenny had the butternut bisque and fresh oysters.

I had some delicious fish and chips.
