Today we headed to Alcatraz. Grandma, Grandpa, Diane, Allie, Kevin, Autumn and I have never been there. We’ve been wanting to go there since last summer when we saw it going out to take Jerry’s ashes out to sea. Here’s our boat.
On the way out-Kevin’s legs were the only ones to reach the seats.
Whoa, Grandma, feel those waves?
Super sunny day. We could see Coit tower and the Golden Gate bridge.
Autumn and I were so excited to see sea gulls! We asked Mommy to take a picture.

Photo bombed by Kevin.
We stopped at Allie’s work to visit her friends. They took us trick or treating in the Spring to get treats around the office! Then we went to CREAM to have a treat. I got brownie with strawberry ice cream and mini gummy bears. Autumn got a brownie with chocolate ice cream and chocolate sprinkles.
Mom got oatmeal cookies with churro ice cream.
