Believe it or not, it took us just over 11 months of living in the Bay Area to actually make it to the Gold Gate Bridge. It was indeed impressive, and I wasn't tempted at all to fling myself over the railing. Not even a little bit.
Funny story about this trip: a week or two earlier we had visited some friends in LA. We stopped in Santa Monica, where we lived in 1999, to check out the old stomping grounds. As we walked from the Third Street Promenade to Ocean Boulevard to admire the ocean, we noticed this biker couple that must've been in their 50s. They were very distinctive because they were clad in black and red leather from head to toe, and the guy had a mane of white, white hair.
So now we're at the Golden Gate Bridge and Tala goes, "Hey, it's those bikers from Santa Monica!" She actually went up and said hi and had her picture taken with them! And after we left the bridge area, about an hour later we saw them in some other part of San Francisco getting gas.
We took tons of pictures in May, but very few of them turned out well. This was mainly due to the very bright sun. Whether we were swimming in our apartment pool or camping in the Sierras, the sun was just too damn bright. But we did get this rare, picture of all of us together. This is on the Stanislaus River in the Sierras. The campground has some wacky Indian name, but it was a fantastic campground. Clean, peaceful and not too crowded.
