Castle Island - A Tradition Continues...


April 20, 2008

Gwendolyn Lillian, named after her great-grandmothers, is a force of nature. Gwen is a bright, charming, loving, and full of fun two year old. It was my distinct pleasure to spend some time with her this weekend. Our destination was South Boston specifically Castle Island. Whether walking around watching the airplanes come and go from Logan, enjoying the sailboats on the water, or just riding those swings you know it’s an exciting time. Then to top it off you must have an ice cream at Sullivan’s.

My memories, at a young age, of the same kind of fun day at Castle Island are vivid. Later in life as a fourth-grade teacher for years I would take my class on a field trip to the John F. Kennedy Library/Museum and follow it up with a picnic lunch at you guessed it – Castle Island! I’m certain that Gwen’s first experience at the Island was just one of many more to come.
