Lucy was too interested in the water to cooperate for a picture.  SANY0195-001SANY0196

I love this one of Grandma and Luce!SANY0198SANY0199SANY0203

“What?  You’re taking me to prison?!”SANY0204

I love that I caught Ash checking herself out in her phone while taking a picture of Grandma and Goose playing.SANY0205

The audio tour at Alcatraz was awesome!SANY0225SANY0227SANY0230SANY0231SANY0232SANY0233SANY0234SANY0237

I absolutely loved Alcatraz!  It was so much better than I ever expected it to be.  If I went again, I would definitely do the night tour.  It would be so cool to see the city lights from the island, plus it would add an extra eeriness to the prison.SANY0238SANY0241SANY0242

It was so windy out here!  We were trying to get a view of the Golden Gate Bridge, but it was too foggy to see it well.SANY0244SANY0245SANY0246-001SANY0250SANY0251-001

Scary!  Ha!SANY0255SANY0256SANY0260SANY0261SANY0263-001SANY0265SANY0266SANY0268SANY0271SANY0275-001SANY0276

After we got off the boat, I walked around the corner and this little cutie was walking towards me.  She’s getting so big too fast!SANY0278SANY0279-001

We did the double decker Hop On/Hop Off tour bus.  We were able to see a lot this way and could get on and off as we wanted.SANY0280-001SANY0281

I loved all the beautiful churches.SANY0285SANY0294SANY0295SANY0296-001

We had a live person as our guide the first day.  The second day was a recording and we listened with headphones.  It wasn’t as fun as having a real person telling us about the city.SANY0299SANY0300

Tilly’s chubber cheeks and big lips.  She doesn’t even look like herself here.SANY0301

Their city building was gorgeous.SANY0305-001SANY0307

Sweet sleepy baby.SANY0313SANY0316-001

Oh, did I say sleepy?  She got so silly on the bus!  She was cracking me up!  She was copying me sticking out her tongue and laughing so hard.SANY0318SANY0321SANY0322SANY0323

It got too cold on top for the babes, so me and Mandy brought them down and had more fun inside the warm bus.SANY0325-001

This was the best view of the Golden Gate Bridge we got the first time over.  SANY0327

We got off at Chestnut Street for dinner at Squat and Gobble. What kind of name is that? It was yummy food. We walked back to the bus stop and waited and waited for the next bus. They come every 10 minutes. We soon realized we had JUST missed the last bus. Just missed, as in we watched in go passed us and didn’t hurry because we thought we had plenty of time to catch the next one. Luckily we weren’t too far from our hotel and walked the rest of the way back.

More fun pictures of the girls playing back at the hotel room.DSCN6794-001

Two little beauty queens.DSCN6796-001

Oh, the memories....Good times! Those little girls are so stinkin' cute! Alcatraz was great....who doesn't like to ride on a ferry boat...more hills and strollers....you just gotta love it! The hop on/hop off bus tour was interesting and informative, not to mention a much needed chance to sit down and rest! Fun!!!
