The feeling I got at Alcatraz was a sad feeling. A very cold, sad, and empty feeling.
I am so glad we got the opportunity to go and take the kids. It has a lot of history, and I could feel that. As we were leaving, Dawn and I were talking about Alcatraz at night, and what goes on there in the dark........
