Open Top Tour Bus

While Joe's parents were in town this last week I was able to take a day off of work and join them on an open top tour bus. We see these buses drive by all the time and I've always thought they'd be a great way to see the city if you don't have a lot of days to spend roaming. We jumped off at the Golden Gate Bridge and walked.

The weather was perfect. Joe and I haven't seen the bridge this clear since we moved to San Francisco. It made for some great pictures.

We walked pretty much all the way across. Supposedly there were signs saying the walkway was closed 1.4 miles in, but Julie and I missed them. Jed kept saying we better turn back, but decided to keep walking. Long story short... we ended up turning back and walking the whole bridge again.

Workers are constantly painting the bridge bright orange/red. You could tell where some places had been touched up and where others needed to be badly.

We saw dozens of dolphins just below the bridge.

There were a couple kayakers muscling the ocean water and moving pretty quickly. We also watch huge ships drive in and out of the bay.

Other than the Golden Gate Bridge I didn't take many other pictures on our bus tour. We just sat back, enjoyed the ride and listened to the recording point out landmarks and iconic San Francisco locations.

Even though Joe and I have seen lots around town, I really enjoyed the tour and showing off the city to Jed and Julie! It was fun to get a different view of the city.
