This has become a family tradition which we were hoping to be able to continue on this trip. Well, we did get a photo, but from the south side of the bridge - whereas all our previous photos had been taken from the north. The reason why is simple: public transportation. San Francisco has a great bus, tram and train network, which we used every day - and found easy to use, easy to navigate and cheap. But it was not easy to take a public bus over the Golden Gate Bridge on a Sunday - and still have time to do anything else. We considered compromising on our 'public transit only' goal, but in the end decided that a photo from the other side of the bridge would serve just as well.

CAM and BigB were suitably fascinated and BigB is still young enough to seriously wonder whether it really was a UFO Response Team. Wander on over to DeliciousBaby for more Photo Friday fun.
