We couldn't go to San Francisco and not go to the Golden Gate Bridge. The day we went had classic San Francisco weather.
Here we are, standing at the base of the bridge, which you can't see due to the fog.
We decided to walk across anyway. Well, walk half way across and then back. That qualifies as walking across the bridge, right?!
The fog started lifting as we walked...
...leading to a beautiful day.
Muir Woods
After walking on the bridge, we hoped in the car and drove to Marin County. I love that the Bay Area offers so many things to do. Muir Woods was less than a 45 minute drive from the city. An interesting fact: Coastal redwood trees have indeterminate growth. The tallest recorded to date is 379.1 feet tall or 115.5 meters. This is the same height as a 35 story building.
After the hour hike, the kids were ready to head home. I was sad that we couldn't go to nearby Stinson Beach, but there's only so much you can pack into a day.
