WanderKids at Golden Gate Bridge 2009

boys-at-gg2

When I posted about visiting San Francisco for Thanksgiving last year, I showed the photos we’d taken of our boys with the Golden Gate bridge in the background on previous trips. This has become a family tradition which we were hoping to be able to continue on this trip. Well, we did get a photo, but from the south side of the bridge – whereas all our previous photos had been taken from the north.

The reason why is simple: public transportation. San Francisco has a great bus, tram and train network, which we used every day – and found easy to use, easy to navigate and cheap. But it was not easy to take a public bus over the Golden Gate Bridge on a Sunday – and still have time to do anything else. We considered compromising on our ‘public transit only‘ goal, but in the end decided that a photo from the other side of the bridge would serve just as well.

Hopefully, I’ll be adding another long-interval time-lapse photo of my babe posing with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background after our visit to San Francisco for Thanksgiving this year.

We’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving with Irish friends in the Bay Area.
Much of what I’ve read about Third Culture Kids is from the perspective of Americans living outside the U.S. On this trip, I’ll be talking to the tweens in our group about their opinions on growing up as third-culture kids inside the U.S. Watch out for a post on that in December.
