Alcatraz

Alcatraz

The week before Labor day weekend Jason decided he wanted to get tickets for Alcatraz in SF.  Since i have never gone i was really excited about it.

I definitely recommend purchasing them ahead of time;  they get booked up most of the time (btw: two and under are free).

So we headed out and it was just beautiful weather, mid 70's and just gorgeous.

There is so much to learn about Alcatraz so we did the audio tour and Dylan our oldest just loved it.  Perfect age; definitely recommend it.

They still have the original "warning" signs up along the outside. 

Did i mention how beautiful it was?

They had red fire hydrants all over the island and i just thought they were so cool.

This is the warden's house.  Pretty large and interesting the staff that lived on the island "rarely locked their doors", isn't that crazy.

Cool washer outside the warden's home.  What a gorgeous view he had out the windows of his home, can you imagine?

Great place to visit.  September is a great month to go.
