Alcatraz Trip

Monica and friend, Kelsey, were in town from LA, so we took the opportunity to round up the family and have a field trip.


Destination: ALCATRAZ!


I haven't been there since elementary school, so I was pumped for another visit. It's not like anything has changed on "The Rock", but it was good to freshen up on my Alcatraz IQ. The award winning Audio Tour is now free (I recall having to pay for it last time), and I highly recommend it...It’s FREE; why not?!


The weather was AMAZING. It would have been annoyingly hot, but luckily, we are inside for most of the tour. Only bottled water is allowed while exploring the island, and it is a essential. Bring your own water because the water the Park Service sells will cost you an arm-and-a-leg.


I was definitely exhausted by the end...physically and mentally. I took a little cat nap on the ferry back to Pier 33 (not that surprising if you know me).


Below is the video I threw together. I've been playing around with the iMovie program on my laptop, so I'm trying out all the fun options and cheesy audio tracks. Enjoy!
