On this spooky adventure, we visit the Salem Witch Village in Massachusetts to learn about the infamous Salem Witch Trials. Next, we fly to California to walk through Bodie (at Bodie State Historic Park), a once thriving gold-mining Wild West town that is now abandoned and cursed. Lastly, we question whether Bigfoot, Yetis, and the Loch Ness Monster are just fictional creatures at the International Cryptozoology Museum in Maine. 

Happy Halloween! 

Everything is covered in salt:  the stairs, the walls, the statues, and the chandeliers hanging above are covered in salt crystals. 

We travel to Poland this week and walk down at least 320 stairs to explore the Wieliczka Salt Mine. While we are underground, we join the next tour group and visit the Cracow Saltworks Museum (Muzeum Żup Krakowskich Wieliczka), the largest underground museum in Europe. Once we exit the mine, we stop by the Graduation Tower (Tężnia Solankowa) to relax and breathe in the fresh salty air. 

We’re back in Georgia this week as we explore the ruins of an old mill that produced uniforms for soldiers in the 1840s. Next, we test our taste buds and noses at the World of Coco-Cola museum before we pet alpacas and llamas in Atlanta, Georgia. 

No internet service. No cell service. If you're lucky, the last text message you'll get will say "Welcome to Canada," once you depart the ferry on Kelleys Island. 

We visit Kelleys Island, an island on Lake Erie with more golf carts than cars, even though there is only one golf course (and it's for miniature golf). It's the perfect weekend getaway where we examine the delicate flowers in Kelleys Island State Park and then tour the Charles Herndon Gallery and Sculpture Garden before we learn about commercial fishing at the Kelleys Island History Museum. 

A legend that is celebrated and feared in Point Pleasant, West Virginia is what we are exploring today at the Mothman Museum. Next, we take a bite out of historic candy that was popular in the 1800s and 1900s. After that, we climb to the top of the Thorny Mountain Fire Tower at Seneca State Forest for a view that takes our breath away.

Happy 1st Day of May! 

The laws of gravity don't seem to apply as we tour the "Mystery Hole" in Ansted. In Cameron, we examine artifacts that may or may not emit energy that sends chills running down our spine at the Archive of the Afterlife or the National Museum of the Paranormal. Then we face our fear of heights on the bridge walk (an open-air 88 stories high catwalk) under the New River Gorge Bridge. 

Where exactly did Country Music originate in the U.S.? Can we still find wild horses in Virginia today? Is it true that Jefferson had a garden with over 330 varieties of vegetables?

These are the questions we are finding the answers to this week as we travel to Virginia to the Birthplace of Country Music Museum, Chincoteague Island, and Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, where you'll find fruits and vegetables that you likely didn't know existed!
