What better way to celebrate 19 years of marriage than a trip to Alcatraz! Happy Anniversary, Honey! The island holds more history than we knew serving as a strategic fort to protect the city and used in the civil war to hold prisoners before its famous 30 years as a maximum security prison. Alcatraz was overtaken by Native Americas for a span of time demanding better treatment and the return of tribal land. It is now part of the National Park Service.
We got our sourdough fix with lunch at Boubin. Their history and sourdough production was very interesting not to mention their unique loaves of bread in the shape of turtles, alligators, crabs, teddy bears. We had bread bowls of soup and sourdough pizza.
Visited the Aquarium at the Bay and really enjoyed the two tunnel aquariums. The schools of anchovies were amazing. Check out this plastic bag mockumentary we saw at the aquarium http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLgh9h2ePYw . The children were highly entertained by this video. I am glad we have made an effort to use less plastic the past few years.
Dinner was delicious- Ghirardelli ice cream sundaes! Wouldn't want to miss out on this San Francisco classic!
Tomorrow evening we will head home.
