Brendan and I also decided to tag along with my family on a road trip to California. We got to visit San Francisco, so we saw all the important sites like Alcatraz at night, pier 39, the gardens, China Town and the Ghirardelli factory :) The only bummer was the "revenge of the Ghirardelli", which would be the horrible pain you get after you have consumed FAR too much ice cream, brownies, and fudge sauce.
This was the warden's home on the island, which was burned down years later.
Rows and rows of cells we walked past as they told us what the prisoners did. CREEPY! :)China town was amazing! So many colors and plastic kittens waving to you!
We decided to get brave and try some things to eat. We first chose a Chinese doughnut, which we thought we would be safe with...we were wrong. They must not believe in sugar, for it was simply a fried ball of dough dripping with oil. GROSS. 
Then we found the fortune cookie factory which was a hole in the wall place with AMAZING cookies. These cookies put every fortune cookie I have ever had to shame! Plus they were warm....mmmmm! We bought bag fulls and they were still gone so fast! Our last food attempt was dim sung. Dad and Brendan came out with shrimp, pork, and another meat. None of which I was willing to eat. It looked disgusting!!! Still the guys ate some of it before we convinced them to just throw it out. Tell me...would you have eaten this???
