Over the Labor Day holiday weekend, ChildReach decided to spend it riding a shiny big red fire engine. We took the San Francisco Fire Engine Tour from Fisherman's Warf over the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito and back. We definitely rode in style on a 1955 open top Mac fire engine. There were no doors, no windows and no roof so we really had to hang on (don't worry, we all wore our seatbelts). We even got to wear authentic fire jackets! We got a lot of attention as we drove through town, and we all made sure to wave and holler to let everyone know we were having a good time. Going over the Golden Gate was certainly an experience our families will not soon forget. Riding up above the cars with no top gave us an incredible view of the city and the bridge. Man, those columns are HUGE! As soon as we got over the bridge, the fog lifted and we were enjoying more beautiful bay views, but this time in the sun. We drove down the Sausalito strip, waving to everyone as we passed. Then we stopped for an ever important photo opportunity. Unfortunately, the fun had to come to end, and we had to bundle back up to cross the bridge back into the fog. Good thing we had our red caps to protect us from the wind! We had a great time, and look forward to chance to ride the big red fire engine again!
