Alcatraz | Bay Area Photographer
Awhile back we took the kids to Alcatraz. I have to say they are not terribly interested in the historical aspects of it (yet) but we did enjoy the ride out there and the scenery. Someday I will go back without them, or when they are older and will appreciate it – and then I will spend time listening to the tour and reading all the things there are to read. I did manage to get some pictures while we were there though!
This was the view from the boat at the approach to Alcatraz. Love the signage all over the island.
It was so bleak and dark in there. As well I would have expected. I did keep looking for Nicholas Cage and Sean Connery though.
This was outside in the yard. Did not look like a fun place to hang out at all. Just thinking of all the people who I learned about in school who were here though is amazing.
There were birds everywhere!!
This is the spiral staircase leading to the second floor of cells. The cells were so tiny. Barely enough room to move around.
And finally on our way back to San Francisco from Alcatraz. It was a great day!
