For Christmas, Mary gave me tickets for Alcatraz and a San Francisco City tour. Me, Desiree, Mary and Blake went for the weekend.
On the last day we went to Dennis the Menace Park in Monterey. Some of my pictures got out of order. Below is a cool maze for the kids. Mary and Blake went in it
Mary at Fisherman's Wharf
Mary and I at Pier 39
At the top of Twin Peaks, formerly named by the Indians Los Pechos de la Choca (The breasts of the Indian girl)
Blake, waiting for our tour bus
The old Del Monte Cannery at San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf
The trolley at Hyde & Powell. This was $5 up and $5 back. We have to save up for it to ride it next time.
This is the yard at Alcatraz, where the inmates would go outside to play handball, baseball, or other sports. Notice the beautiful rainbow behind the walls.
When Alcatraz was open, Police families actually lived on the island and sent their children to the school on the island. They had a social hall and would play games, have parties and dances, and bowl. I believe the building below is a gutted out warehouse.
Alcatraz from the boat. It is 1 1/4 miles from the shore to Alcatraz. It was rainy when we went, so the view is cloudy
Beautiful rainbow over Alcatraz
Getting off the boat
Blake in "the hole"
San Francisco Bay from the boat
Pier 39 dock view, from our boat
Salinas beach
Santa Cruz boardwalk
Salinas Fruit Stand
Dennis the Menace Park. They had the coolest equipment there! Rock climbing, a large bridge, train, maze....way cool!
Slide just like the one the kids used to go on in Arcadia, with the rollers in the slide
