I noticed in the news today that the Golden Gate Bridge is turning 75 years old this month and it triggered a fun memory. When the bridge turned 50 years old, we were living in the Bay Area and heard they were going to have a big celebration, including fireworks. So, knowing we were living a bit of history, we gathered up our little family on a Sunday evening and drove to San Francisco. It was VERY CROWDED, but somehow we managed to find a parking space and then we walked a few blocks to a great place where we had a perfect view of the fireworks, which were taking place right over the bridge. We were there with our good friends, Keoki and Christy Williams and their family. It was an awesome experience that I will never forget. I wonder if our kids remember being there. If not, at least they now know they were a part of history!
