No visit to San Francisco is complete without the obligatory visit to the Golden Gate Bridge. Not only an icon of San Francisco, but also an icon of the entire United States. We've been using public transit during our entire visit as it's difficult to and expensive to find parking, so we hopped on the #28 bus which took us all the way to the Bridge Visitor Center. This was definitely the right call as cars were circling and there was no parking to be found.

Many people like to hike or bike across the bridge which we've done before on a previous visit. Today, we hiked down to Fort Point and Crissy Field along the Bay to get a different perspective and take pictures. Most of the time this week at least part of the bridge has been shrouded in fog, but today it cleared up enough for us to get some great pictures.
The Golden Gate Bridge was built in 1937, so it is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year. They're marking the occasion with an anniversary lapel pin (that I've added to my collection) and a nice flower display.
