Follow Friday – Golden Gate

October 11, 2013 by Carrie Anne Leave a Comment

[pinterest]

Today’s post features photos of the Golden Gate Bridge that I took while we were on a whale watching trip for my birthday. Unfortunately this is also the time when I developed panic disorder and suffered my first panic attack. As horrible as that was, my memories of the trip are still one of a wonderful adventure wherein we saw dozens of humpback whales, porpoises, dozens of birds and even a sunfish. It was good times. Have a great weekend!
