train to salem

t. had a great idea to take the girls to salem for the patriot's day holiday.  rose is elenora's best friend at school, and the first friend she ever made completely separately from me.  these 2 just clicked right away last fall, and it's been the 2 of them ever since.  t. and i have really hit it off, too, and we have great conversations about god and religion and kids, etc.

this was elenora's second train ride ever.  it was a fun trip, and they were so sweet together.

here they are looking at a real estate booklet that rose picked up at the train station.  rose is saying "you can move into this house, and i will move into that one."

they were pretty excited to find a witch in salem (even if it was a manikin), since j. had given elenora a hint that people in salem like to dress up like witches.

we all had lunch in a restaurant in town that was thankfully big enough for 2 silly girls who wanted to run up and down the room by the end of the meal.
