San Francisco

We got home at 1:30 in the morning on Monday.  Michael and I flew out Wednesday night for San Francisco.  This was a trip planned before we knew Jackson would be back in Chemo.  In a way I am glad, because otherwise I might not have gone and it has been fun to be just the two of us after all the craziness that has invaded our lives since the worlds worst Valentines Day.  Michael is the Chair of the Irrigation Association Certification Board and we are here for his summer meetings. 

Michael, Thursday night with Alcatraz in the background.

Friday while he was in meetings I took a Duck tour around San Francisco and then toured Alcatraz.




It was a really interesting tour, I like the audio that told the stories of the guards and their families that lived on Alcatraz, about 80 families at one point.  Plus I didn't know Alcatraz was once a prison to hold Confederate soldiers during the Civil War, it's been here AWILE.


This was the day of the mass shootings in the Colorado Movie Theatre.  Hoping that criminal ends up some place like Alcatraz for what he did to those people and their families.

Thought the kids might like to see Alligators and Turtles made out of Sourdough Bread!
