San Fran

Alright, so I went with the fam to San Francisco this past Christmas. And I still haven’t uploaded pictures yet. I ended up taking about 300 just in SF and of Alcatraz! They turned out pretty, some of them. It was really neat to go to Alcatraz, this old island that used to house some of the biggest criminals. The buildings all seem worn out and ragged but the best part of the island is that there is beautiful plant life growing all around the treacherous buildings! I was so amazed by how beautiful some of the plants and flowers were there. They were among ruins and rubble but yet they grew proud, right in the middle of the damage. Those photos ended up being my favorite ones from the trip, so I’ll post those on here for you to see. It was really great to be with family, all my nieces and nephews! I have so many now, and the numbers are still growing. I’m very fortunate to have such a great family. They know how to give and how to love unconditionally. I don’t acknowledge that enough.

Anyway, here are some photos from our trip. Hope you enjoy.
