Alcatraz!!

The first day of our trip was pretty crazy. We left Phoenix around 9:45pm-ish and drove allllll night. We had tickets to board the ferry to Alcatraz at 8:50am. Let me tell you.....we were a little stressed that we wouldn't make it. We pulled up to the ferry at 8:50am!! Can you say close or what?! We had no time to relax before hopping on the boat. We got out of the car and ran to get in line. It was so worth it though. Here are some pictures from our adventure at Alcatraz!

On our way!
The Island

This is the booth that the prisoners would speak with their visitors through. Visitors were very rare however because parents of prisoners often told their loved ones that they were dead. They'd rather have them believe that then know that they had been sent to Alcatraz.....not a fun place to be.

The rooms are so tiny! The bed is missing in this cell but it's supposed to be right in front of the toilet.

P.S. I forgot to mention that we took an audio tour of the prison. It was so neat.
