We spent a day in Dorchester, crossing off nine places on the 1000 Places list.
Dorchester Heights
Sullivan's on Castle Island
The original Sullivan's
Having a picnic on Castle Island
Fort Independence
Walking around Castle Island, once known as "The Irish Rivera" when it was the old Whitey Bulger stomping grounds
Heading into the zoo
This porcupine was quite busy carrying around his stick.
My little rooster and kitty cat
Our favorite animals were the prairie dogs.
On a recreated termite mound
In a truck that "crashed" into the lion enclosure
The kids were tickled by the pygmy hippo
We took a drive around the Forest Hills Cemetery, resting place of e.e. cummings, Eugene O'Neill, Anne Sexton, and several famous revolutionaries, abolitionists, and governors. The cemetery is also known for its large collection of interesting statuary.
Highland Park in Roxbury
The Shirley Eustice House
First Parish Church
The kids also recently had to say goodbye to their two good friends Taran and Finn, who were moving to Oregon. We were glad to have a parting dinner together, but Avonlea Jane was pretty upset.
