It is really an interesting place with so much history.<br /><br />Although, young kids would not enjoy it.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing this. I've lived in the Bay Area a few years now and have yet to visit Alcatraz, but was just talking with friends this weekend about going on a tour. How fantastic that you have such a unique connection to this historical place.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting my blog, http://knowtheirstories.blogspot.com.
