Alcatraz and Angel Island

This weekend we crossed one of the things off the 10 y/o's wish list by going to Alcatraz. We had been on the Bay Cruise (which is awesome) last year, but we wanted to actually tour "The Rock".

ProTip: They are not joking when they say to book your tickets early. We really only cared about Alcatraz, but to get the date we wanted the only tour available was the longer more expensive combo your that included Angel Island. In retrospect, I'm glad it worked out that way. Angel Island is beautiful and has an interesting history of its own.
