The Golden Gate Bridge

It always takes my breath away.  However, my granddaughter wants to know why they call it the Golden Gate Bridge when it's not gold.  Good question!

California is the "golden state" and the design was approved by the golden gate highway commission. hence the name "golden gate".

I researched it for you so you could tell your grandaughter why...all great questions warrant an answer. Miss you guys. Pauline

Thanks Pauline. I'll pass that along to my granddaughter. Thanks for checking my blog.
We'll be leaving San Diego on Wednesday. Next stop....Phoenix.
