Great trip to Alcatraz.

Amazing day with family we walked from Bush Street Worldmark timeshare which is about 30 minutes. Jumped on the Alcatraz tour and had an awesome experience. Last time to Alcatraz was in 4th grade 45 plus years ago.

The shops were amazing the wine tasting on the bay is a must
