    Alcatraz and Aquarium

    February 12 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

    Took the F Historic Streetcar after breakfast but sadly the Exploratorium museum was closed, so we walked back to the Pier to do the Alcatraz tour. Just managed to hop on the next boat. Fog cleared a bit so we could start to see the Bay Bridge, Golden Gate Bridge and Treasure Island.
    Rosie did great on the audio tour around the cells at Alcatraz which meant we could actually listen to it - creepy but interesting to hear about how the prisoners lived.
    Another delicious crab chowder sourdough bowl from Boudins.
    Matt and Rosie went to the aquarium in the afternoon - Rosie loved the robot guide and the otters.
    Back at the hotel Poppy did one of her first laughs - very cute! And this morning she rolled from her front to her back.
    Lovely dinner at Scomas where they catch the fish and seafood they serve. The restaurant is next to all the fishing boats so the area is low key but lots of very fancy cars parked outside!
    Last night in San Francisco tonight. We've loved the positive vibes, mix of cultures, the tasty seafood, scent of eucalyptus on our runs and how many fun things are going on here. Thumbs up for San Fran 👍
