Fourth of July in San Francisco

Kodi took us into San Francisco to see the city and for a tour of Alcatraz!


Monday we went into San Francisco to go tour Alcatraz. We stopped at the Golden Gate viewpoint and snapped some pics!


Here's a shot of the girls joking around. It was really windy up there but I think it helped lift the fog a little so we could see the bridge better.


Here's us going down Lombard street, the "curviest street in the world". Kodi had me drive us in the city and boy, the hills of San Francisco are no joke!


Here's a pic from the boat we took out to Alcatraz. It was a pretty short ride but really windy. We had some great sunny weather so we weren't even chilly.


Here's a picture of one of the old buildings that burned down a while back. We had a bit of a hike to get up to the actual prison.


Here is a picture of the inside of the prison. It was actually somewhat smaller than I imagined. We were on the self-paced audio tour (we all got headsets with a digital playback machine that guided us through the prison). It was really interesting and fun to hear and see everything as we walked around.


Here's the obligatory cell shot. They were smaller than I expected but taller too. Huh.


The door was locked open so Jaime made it out of the slammer ... heh.


They left most of the signs and other things up from when the prison was open, it was so wild to think that this was once a real prison just across from such a big city! It was really cool to see, we all really enjoyed it. Thanks to Kodi for being a great tour guide all through the weekend!
