After leaving Alcatraz it was off to another one of San Francisco's legendary landmarks, the Golden Gate Bridge. I remember first learning about suspension bridges and every example resembling this - kind of like every big skyscraper always resembling the Empire State Building.
There's no escaping its size or prominence at the entrance of the bay, and driving across with the roof down only emphasized the scale. That distinct rusty red color, strings of cable whipping passed us, and swarms of traffic buzzing by made for yet another classic road trip scene. Here we were with the wind in our hair crossing one of the most recognizable bridges in the world.

Very nice! Please, please, PLEASE tell me you were playing the Full House theme song as you crossed!!
No, we saved the Full House talk for Alamo Park. That's where the famous Painted Ladies victorian houses are, and where they sat and had the picnic in the Full House opening, haha.
It is definitely apparent that great minds think alike! In my final post about the San Francisco movie tour I will talk about the movies that have showcased the Golden Gate Bridge. I was lucky enough to see the Golden Gate Bridge from multiple perspectives. With the movie tour we were taken to Fort Point which is actually under the Golden Gate. I was able to climb up directly under the bridge which was very cool!
