On Sunday we met up with Tyler's Uncle Andy and Cousin Ben to take part in the tour of Alcatraz Island. What an awesome day! We took the 11:30 boat from Pier 33 over to the famous prison that was home to some of the world's biggest criminals. The Island closed down in 1963 and has since become a great historic landmark and now a preserved National Park. We arrived on the Island a little before noon time. After a quick orientation video, we were free to roam the island. We saw a gorgeous view of the city and its skyline, something the prisoners were rarely able to look at unless it was through plate glass. We took a 45 minute audio tour through the prison cells, prisoner's rec yard, warden's office, dining room, and much more. If you ever visit San Fran, this is a must see attraction.
That photo of Rachel behind bars made me choke I was laughing so hard!
