SO- an update is required?? Probably should have done this LONG time ago!

I got the pleasure of taking the Bradley 8th grade class to San Francisco for their 8th Grade trip. We took the bus driver too... OK, so Becky, me and Pops got to go to San Francisco for Becky's 8th Grade trip! It was amazingly fun...Got to watch the A's play a game... Becky and I were rooting for Coco Krisp... yes, this was his real name.. he pitches for the Oakland A's (or at least he did last year)

 Since she got to choose where we went.. we decided to watch the sunset from the Oakland Temple Visitor Center. It was beautiful, went through a little movie there... it was nice.. and peaceful.... who says you can't mix religion and school!?

We went to the San Fran Zoo, and had a blast.. TONS of monkeys which happen to be my favorite.. They had some beautiful flowers there too... Sorry, didn't upload those.. maybe next time?

Went to Alcatraz... on the "Night tour".. HOW cool was that.. nice ferry ride over, the grounds are "beautiful" in the respect to the plants and such.  Very informative tour... kinda wished we had more time to cruise around.  Recently (as in last week) watched the movie Escape to Alzatraz... which was a great movie to see after the tour... they left a lot of the movie props at the jail that are now used to tell the real stories of some of their most famous "residents"..such as Al Capone

 Before we left... we took the VERY tired 8th Grader to the Japanese Tea Gardens to take some "pretty photos" of her so we could use them for her program for graduation. BEAUTIFUL area.. peaceful, calming...amazing...

This is a bike rack outside an art museum.... I had to coax her into lying in it... she thought I was weird.. till I showed her what a cool picture it is! One of my favorite!
