Visit to Alcatraz

We visited Alcatraz (the former famous prison) while we were in CA.

Here's Angela and Travis on the boat ride to the island.

Brian and Lucas on the boat with San Francisco in the background.

We all got to listen to an audio tour. Here's Grandpa and Travis getting their audio headsets. Travis was quite excited about them for about 5 minutes.

Here's what a row of cells look like (3 stories high).

Angela and Lucas behind bars.

Travis didn't like these solitary confinement cells much, but we went in to get his picture taken.

Here's one of the three cells from which three prisoners escaped. They used spoons to carve through the wall. There are a few moves based on this. Nobody knows if they survived the swim.
