So yeah, I was supposed to go to Yosemite for the day to see what it's like in the winter, but sadly, snow was still on the roads, so chains were requried. It would have taken too much time to put the chains on just for a day trip. So, we heard that there was a high surf advisory for the coast, so we decided to go to San Francisco for the day and check out the waves....which weren't as big as we thought, but it was still fun. We also checked out the Golden Gate bridge, because we were in that area of San Francisco. Here are the pictures... Entering the city... GASP! It's the FAMOUS GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE!!!!! Not really.... I'm gonna miss this bridge! Can you belive they are tearing it down? Although it is bigger! Here is the "Pointy building". That's what I called it when I was little. Here is a street... and here is a house. And here is the beach with the "High surf". But really, they waves weren't bad, but they could have been bigger. Hold tight, uploading more pics as I speak...

Thanks, haha, you are going to see a ton of pics of the Golden Gate bridge. I really don't know why it's so famous! I mean, it really isn't as big as the other bridges in San Francisco. I'm uploading more pictures to photobucket, but it is taking forever to upload them.

MORE!!! The wind made the sand look cool. Super macro mode! More sand... The shell picture! SEAGULL!!!!! Just walking along... Me! I don't know why, but I think this picture is cool. Another seagull picture... ... Check out that zoom! I was trying to be artistic...didn't quite work. This is a different beach we stopped at for a few minutes. ... ... PIGEON! These are kinda out of order, I messed up when I was uploading them. But anyway, here is the city! A random bow and arrow. Big clock thing. Zoomed out clock thing. Pier 35 Another shell! Hmmm...seagull prints...I suspect a seagull is near. ... Sea foam! Nice reflection... Stay tuned, more to come!

MORE!!!!!!!!!!!! We walked about half way on the Golden Gate bridge. I had never actually walked on it before, so it was pretty cool, but it was kinda weird being so close to the edge. It was pretty high off the ground. You would think there would be taller walls on it to keep people from crawling over! I mean, I could easily climb over if I wanted to. It was pretty scary when I got next to the edge. We were at a leathal height above the water too! People always comit suicide from that bridge....anyway, onto the pictures.... yay! Here it is! Driving across it... Cool, shot. Whoa, that's wayyyyy up there! ... This shot is cool. It makes the bridge look so round! Check out that zoom! ;D A tower... Boat! If you crop some of this out, it could be a nice panorama! alcatraz... The side of the bridge. ... Tower... It's weird to see this thing in so many pictures, and then actually touch it. I thought this was pretty cool. Down the side...check out that nasty bay water. The other side of the tower... Just incase you haven't seen a picture like this already... SEAL!!!!!!! Reading the map...what's this? And, nothing beats a busy day than a Fudrucker's cheesburger, and frys with Jalepeno cheese sauce! YUM!! Thanks for reading everyone!

Great shots, now that bridge was the right color, haha. And what was up with that tower, was it a cell phone tower or something?

^lol.
Yeah, I'm not sure what that tower is for. It is semi-famous though. It's always on shirts and stuff you can buy in SF.

Sweet pics! I would love to go to San Francisco, my aunt and uncle went there on their honeymoon and loved it!
I saw a show (it might've been a 60 Minutes thing) where they were talking about people jumping off of the Golden Gate Bridge. They said out of the numerous people (I think it was about 100 per year!) only a few have survived. They had one guy who did survive on the show, and he now works at a Save-A-Friend type place to help suicidal people.

^Yeah, I knew it was a lot. I just don't see how they could do it. I would probably be too scared to bungee jump off of it!
