Road Trip- Part 6

 We couldn't go all that way and not go to Alcatraz. Thankfully A and B love this type of thing. They will read every plaque at a museum and really take it all in. C on the other hand didn't last through the whole tour.
 It's crazy the stories you hear about living on the island.
 Locking the kids up. Maybe now they'll be a little more grateful for everything!

 In the gift store there was an old inmate of Alcatraz. It was so interesting to hear him answer everyones questions. We had to buy his book. I wish I had read his book before I met him so I could ask him more questions. Not the most well written book but you can borrow it anytime. So interesting!

 After our tour we were waiting for the bus to take us back to the hotel but unfortunately everyone else was taking the bus at the same time. So we decided to start walking and C did not like that idea. Poor guy had done so much on this trip and just wanted a break. He was such a trooper! We walked all the way back to the hotel but we did stop in Little Italy for a yummy dinner.
We also stopped in China Town for some late night shopping. It was a non stop, fulfilled, adventure that I'm so glad we did!!
