I&#8217;m no fan of the bridge.  The only time I was impressed was when I kayaked from Jack London Square in Oakland one early morning years ago.  My flight was out at 1pm that day and I just discovered an active Kayak shop the day before after lunch there.  The friendly proprietor offered to take me out to the bridge if I got there early enough.  I couldn&#8217;t refuse the offer.  Seeing the famed structure underneath was awesome even I was wearing borrowed wetsuit (the proprietor won&#8217;t accept my payment either), and even I never thought the bridge worth a second look.  It&#8217;s the best kayak trip I&#8217;ve taken so far.  I meant to do it on the Hudson, but yet haven&#8217;t .. simply being lazy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.IreneEng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/DSCN4063.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.IreneEng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/DSCN4063-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"kids in the candy land\" title=\"kids in the candy land\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"right size-medium wp-image-19423\" \/><\/a>After lunch we wandered into the candy store.<br \/>\nOh great Mom ..<br \/>\nNow you finally brought us into a candy store ..<br \/>\nMy kids teased me.<br \/>\nYa, I finally had change of heart..<br \/>\nSoften up a lot as I&#8217;m getting older ..<br \/>\nReally?<br \/>\nHmmmm&#8230;<br \/>\nMaybe not \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\nNot really:<br \/>\nThis store has great view out to the Golden Gate Bridge ..<br \/>\nI like the decor on the walls ..<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s not summer yet, yet the line queued long at the cashier&#8217;s It gives me headache just to think what it would be like in the height of tourist season ..<br \/>\n..<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.IreneEng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/DSCN4074.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.IreneEng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/DSCN4074-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"DSCN4074\" title=\"DSCN4074\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-19414\" \/><\/a>   <a href=\"http:\/\/www.IreneEng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/DSCN4072.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.IreneEng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/DSCN4072-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"DSCN4072\" title=\"DSCN4072\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-19415\" \/><\/a>   <a href=\"http:\/\/www.IreneEng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/DSCN4071.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.IreneEng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/DSCN4071-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"DSCN4071\" title=\"DSCN4071\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-19416\" \/><\/a>   <a href=\"http:\/\/www.IreneEng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/DSCN4073.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.IreneEng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/DSCN4073-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"DSCN4073\" title=\"DSCN4073\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-19417\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>.
