Outside, Meigan made her way out of the church 

to our cheers!

I love the shots I captured!

Love her too!

Time to party people!

Jail... or is it PRISON~ Just BE NICE!

On Thursday, we all headed out to visit Alcatraz~

My buddy Danny was excited to ride a cable car

and rated it Great~ Two thumbs up!

Just look at that smile!

This little guy walked the audio tour with me...

listening intently and asking questions!

He was fascinated by it all!

Here he is in one of the cells~

Then in solitary confinement... 

poor guy!

On the way over on the ferry, he kept calling it a jail and 

some guy felt the need to correct him and tell him

it was a prison...

Seriously dude~ the kid is four years old.  He can

call it a jail if he wants too!

The view from the Warden's office of San Francisco's 

skyline!

I did not take many pictures since I was busy with Danny,

but I know I have blogged about my past visit

to the island.  But I did take a few.

The Warden's residence~

The ruins of the homes some of the guards and their

families lived in.

After we took the ferry home, everyone got ready for

the Welcome~Rehearsal dinner that Meigan and Dennis

hosted for the out of town guests...

all 100 of them!!

It was fabulous~ didn't take my camera but

I will tomorrow for wedding!

Today we had breakfast and headed back to 

Pier 39~

Sarah look at the metal flowers I found there...

They have different colored gemsstones on them 

that light up in the sun!

We also saw some of these...

"Are those pansies on a stick?" asked Mary Annis

and I just busted out laughing!

I said yes, they just might be, but

then Laura told us they were Columbine flowers!

We went to Players on the pier for some refreshments 

and stayed all afternoon!

The girls...

The guys...

"Cheers"

Evan took good care of us...

he was a young Johnny Depp~ he

talked just like him!

The guys reliving their Pebble Beach~Spy Glass

golf adventure!

So cute...

Dave had a great time playing Pebble Beach~

I hope he gets back there again one day!
