one of the boys favorite stops
and one they've been talking about ever since our trip
was alcatraz
we weren't sure what they would think about it at first
but they LOVED it
we started out our tour exploring the outside areas of the island
and then made our way in to the actual prison itself
we were each given headphones that directed us around
and gave us facts as we explored -
something that the boys thought was cool was that
the narration is done by some of alcatraz's famous criminals
we explored their cells
their outside rec area -
which is very windy and cold
the solitary confinement area -
D block
and learned all about what daily life was like for a prisoner.
we heard details about escape attempts
and the 3 prisoners who actually did make it out
the place is incredibly interesting -
and does offer great views of san francisco ;)
but being there is very eerie
and i'm VERY glad we were just visiting
