Got up just after six to get ready for our trip to Alcatraz.
We spent FOUR hours there. We took a walking tour with one of the rangers, during which he explained about the escape attempts. The self-guided cell block tour was fantastic, except for the fact that if the four of us didn't have our players in sync, it was challenging. And it was crowded, but that's to be expected.
We found this one hallway with amazing lighting and colors. It was only a little creepy.
After Alcatraz, we headed back to Pier 39 for pizza and shopping. Boo got a new pair of Toms (I decided that I am totally not cool enough for those ugly things.) KJ got a new Raiders t-shirt and is loving the fact that he gets lots of love out here for his Raiders gear. I got a new sweatshirt since I got crapped on at Alcatraz (it was a big old crap, so no scrubbing it out in the restroom.)
We wandered along Fisherman's Wharf and decided to head to the Cable Car stop. We knew it would be busy, but had no idea it was going to be a 90 minute wait. The two Ks weren't exactly excited, but we toughed it out.
And it was freaking awesome.
KJ,JJ and I all got to hang off the sides.
I am so glad that I don't smell like homeless man tonight, but I do fear that I smell like bird crap.
And on that note, I am about to crash right here on my iPad.
So.
Very.
Tired.
By the way, two days and no sun. I'm not complaining, just stating a fact. But I really hope that I get to see the entire bridge before we leave.
That's summer in San Francisco. (Cold weather)
