Hurricane Harbor St. Louis

Welcome to Hurricane Harbor St. Louis

Next up was the body slides, including Geronimo Falls (green speed slide)

Next door is the Wahoo Racer - mat racing slide

Tornado is still a lot of fun - but really scary at times

The other major slide is Big Kahuna

The raft slide complex.  The two "greenish" slides are my favorites

Castaway Creek - lazy river

There are some pretty intense waterfalls and geysers on the river

Hurricane Bay wave pool

Hook's Lagoon waterfortress

Good to know that the beach is shark free.

We are having a great time at Hurricane Harbor

Good view of the skyline of San Francisco

Cruising around Alcatraz

It's a large complex

The other side of the bay from San Francisco

 We're getting closer to the Golden Gate Bridge

Yeah, it's a little foggy today.

It was a little windy on the boat

Heading back into the bay

Very impressive skyline

Having an awesome time
