a 3 hour tour ... literally

yesterday was a day full of bumming around the city

we woke up to another beautiful day ...



started the day with starbucks
OF COURSE ;)

and hopped on a double decker bus
which, among MANY other things, showed us ...

where joe dimaggio went to school ...

people competing in the alcatraz triathalon ...
they swim from alcatraz and then run and bike in the city



the park where the full house opening was filmed ...
actually ... we figured this one out without the help of the tour guide ;)
we also figured out that the houses across the street
aren't the ones actually used in the opening.
but ... no fear.
we found where that house is too ;)

and most importantly ...
because the boys have been asking
the golden gate bridge



we even got extra lucky!
because of the triathalon ...
the normal routes that the bus takes down by the water were blocked.
SO ...
they were forced to drive OVER the bridge!!

it was a VERY windy day ...
apparently enough wind that the bridge can sway up to 27 feet!!
i can't even imagine how you build a bridge with conditions like that!!
BUT ...
it was very cool to see and to ride over
so from a selfish standpoint ...
i'm glad they did ;)
