Friday

Today we visited Alcatraz prison, The Golden Gate Bridge, The Exploratorium and Pier 39

Many students ate lunch at the famous In and Out burger, great shakes and nifty hats too.

Our second stop of the day was the Exploratorium, a hands on science museum in San Francisco.

What a handsome bunch.  The Chaperones pose for a picture outside of the Exploratorium
