Castle Island, an Eclipse, and a Concert

On August 21st we had a full day of activities. Jon had to work late at night, so Monday morning we headed out of the house to Castle Island. We made it back home in time to see the solar eclipse (which was only partial by us). And that evening we went to an outdoor concert at a local library.
