Yo! Ho! Ho! As part of our summer living the "Late, Great Life", Krumbs and I are taking some trips, looking for new and exciting things to do. Guess where our latest adventure took us... We drove (and drove and drove and drove and DROVE!) to a town in Massachusetts called Salem to visit the "New England Pirate Museum". (Click here to visit the museum's website)
It all started with a visit to the Cafe. Krumbs and I found this awesome article by C.L Vaughn called "The Mystery of a Boy Pirate". It is the awesome and totally TRUE story of the youngest pirate to sale the Carribbean. It's so cool! The article told us all about this eight year old pirate's life on board a real pirate ship.
Of course, Krumbs and I were fascinated by the idea of pirates (and who wouldn't be, I ask you?). We couldn't stop thinking about pirates, acting like pirates and writing about pirates. We were becoming obsessed with pirates! That’s when my parents decided to make our whole “Late Great Life” perfect…they decided to take us to the New England Pirate Museum!
We went on a real pirate ship replica, saw pictures and actual STUFF from real pirates, explored a real cave and learned a whole lot about how pirates in New England lived. (Did you know pirates spent the summers in the part of the United States called New England and winters in the tropics?)
What do you think about pirates? Do they fascinate you? Let us know and check back with us again soon for more adventures while Krumbs and I live the “Late
Great Life” of summer!
