Took the ferry from Salem to Boston. It is high speed and sitting outside got very cold, but luckily you could move inside as needed. The views of the coast and islands were awesome! The best was seeing Boston from the water. Very cool!

Was a very nice ride from Boston to Salem, and learned a little history along the way. They have a bar along with food, but use the restroom early before they shut it down.

The trip was a wonderful experience. Due to some confusion, we wound up paying for the trip twice. We are working to figure out how to get that double payment refunded.
