Family Vacation


This year for our family trip we went to California to see Erick and Kira! We checked out Yosemite for a few days, it was beautiful, headed over to Santa Cruz to spend a day at the beach, it was the windiest day! We had piles of sand everywhere! Erick, Ben, and Kira did some surfing and boogie boarding, then we headed off to the City by the Bay. San Francisco! We visit the infamous Alcatraz prison, maybe I’m just a History nerd, but it was AWESOME! I loved it.  It's a tiny island just a mile and a half off shore, we took a boat and toured around the prison for a couple hours. It held famous criminals such like Alcapone. A little creepy, but interesting.  We had ice cream and Ghirardelli’s, YUM! And wandered around fisherman's wharf.  I love that my family still takes time to go on vacations together! We had such an amazing time!
