Biking the Bay!!!

For a long time, I have thought it sounded fun to Bike Across the Golden Gate Bridge!

Bill was really worried about one of the boys going over the rail and plummeting to their watery grave, and he really hated the idea of it at first, but after seeing me be so excited about it, he was a really cute sport and got on board. Before we left, he got a bike that we had found in our neighbor's trash (literally!) and he fixed it up so that it was totally great! Then we borrowed a wagon pull for Cole to ride in from our next door neighbors. Brighton has his own bike, which was perfect because he was used to it and comfortable with it. So all we had to rent was a bike for me.
Alcatraz is behind us. The ride was so amazingly beautiful!!


My super duper fast bike rider boy! I think he loved this day as much as I did!






Our cute friends, the Ingram Family, came with us. Trevor is great with Brighton, although they both liked to wander off and explore a little too far away!

The weather was PERFECT! Sunny, light breeze... it was a gorgeous day! We packed lunches, and stoped a few times on the way to enjoy some picnic spots.

It was an 8.2 mile ride total, from our hotel to Sausalito. Then we caught a ferry back to Fisherman's Wharf.




Just being on the bridge is awesome, but to be able to stop and gaze up at such an amazing engineering feat... It was so cool!


Self portrait on the bridge.... seriously... it was so much fun!

The cables were as thick as Trevor's Arm!
At one point we got a little lost. That part did not rock.... it actually sucked... so when you go, don't get lost! Take the Alexander drive route. It is much better... but don't go too fast. Trevor crashed and we were so lucky he did not get hurt worse than he did. He was a super good sport. My favorite line of his.... "Medic, I need the medic! Medic, someone get the medic!" (Hilarious Trevor!)
Cole was really sick on and off throughout the week. The morning of the bike ride, he was doing okay, but not great when we started out. He slept almost the entire day in his comfy little bed daddy made him in the wagon. As we were on the ferry going back he got a high fever and was having lots of difficult breathing and they had him exit the ferry first. It sounds so bad, that everyone always thinks the poor little guy is dying. It would have been the same if he was in bed in his hotel room though, so I am glad he got to get out and enjoy some family time with us before he got bad. After the ferry ride, Bill took him back to the hotel and snuggled him for the rest of the night.


I have to say that this was my very favorite part of our entire vacation. Thank you hunnie for supporting me and letting me enjoy it to the fullest! You are a terrific sport!
