OK, I'm feeling better about moving now that I've seen THE Golden Gate Bridge. Shoo. I was pretty freaked out that we have lived here a year and never seen it. However, my mommy buddies and I organized a little jaunt across the bridge today. The view was spectacular and it is something I'm glad I have done. Once. Just once. It was a little intimidating sharing the bridge with all the automobiles. There was one jack-ass in particular who thought it would be fun to blare his horn as he hurtled passed a group of ladies with their buggies. Jerk. Or maybe he was just defending himself from an errant driver? Anyway, after that I couldn't get over the irrational fear of being smashed by flying debris from the passing cars. I visualized how I would fling Norman out of harm's way and shield him with my body. *sigh* How do I come up with this stuff? The bigger danger was probably getting beaned by a speeding bike. The cyclists were helpfully screaming, "On the left! On the LEFT! ON! THE LEFT!" But the din of hundreds of engines drowned out their cries until they were right on top of us. Seriously though, the view of the city on the bay and of the Marin Mountains made it all worth while. It was THAT beautiful.
I'm bummed, my pictures do not do the view justice!

I love the Golden Gate Bridge and can understand your fear of cars AND bicycles. :) I was always scared to death every time I walked across it but I loved it. Have you gone down Lumbard Street yet?
Hi Becca, Jacob and Baby Jacob,
