Old Salem

Michael and I went to Old Salem in Winston-Salem, NC on Friday. We had a great time and Michael enjoyed seeing how people lived long ago. His favorite was the "neccesary" (outhouse) which you can see in the first picture! He was extremely concerned about spiders and snakes crawling out of the hole! We both decided we were glad we live now, with flushing toilets!

Michael got to play "dress-up" in clothes from the past and try out a child's bed. He was also glad he has a mattress and air conditioning! In the center of Old Salem is a water pump which Michael loved drinking from. It was a HOT day (93+ degrees & humid) so the water was a nice treat!

Until next time...
