While we were in San Francisco we also took a tour of Alcatraz. It was really cool, I would highly recommend it, next time we really want to do the night tour!
We had to take a quick boat ride over to the island. It is about a mile and a half from San Francisco!

| It was really cold, especially with the wind that came from the ocean, so M.J. borrowed Grandma's gloves for a little bit! |

| We got to take an audio tour of the jail, it was really cool because they told a lot of stories about prisoners there. So this is Grandpa modeling the headset! |

| It had a gorgeous view though! |
It was so much fun! The audio tour was awesome too, they even told a story about how three prisoners escaped and were never found.... creepy, but they actually think they died while trying to swim over to San Francisco! The island was gorgeous, we were discussing how much fun it would be to live on the Island, but only if the wind wasn't there. Boy, that was a cold wind that came from the ocean! M.J. did pretty well, he was not very happy with the cold wind, but he was a trouper! I could not imagine having to live in that Jail, you would be cold all the time, it would be miserable!
