Mother Son Adventures of the Golden Gate

A submission from my friend Jennifer Hansen, a.k.a. Stitch Diva as she crosses the Golden Gate with her son for the first time (all words and images by Jennifer Hansen).

Max and I bike at least once a week down here in the South Bay.

Ever since he saw the photos of you and I doing it last year, he's been bugging me to to take him biking over the Golden Gate Bridge.

We did a 10 mile ride from the ferry building in SF to the yacht harbor in Sausalito - we had lunch then we took the ferry back to SF.

Max thought the bridge would be way windier than it was - I think we crossed on a calm day.

We stopped here to take a picture and look down in the water. We saw a school of dolphins swimming under the bridge.

Awesome adventure, Jennifer! Thanks for sharing and ride on!

I love seeing kids cross the bridge! It is so much fun to take that trip and then board the ferry back. Always a winner!

The Golden Gate is an awesome ride though stopping for photo ticked off some of the Lycra crowd.

The lycra crowd can kiss my chamois-free derrière.

The Golden Gate Bridge is an international icon that should be enjoyed and photographed, with time to linger and revel the beauty of the Bay. Those who whizz by in lycra are just obnoxious.
