Bridging Ceremony
In Girl Scouts, the process of moving from one level to another is called "bridging". The Girl Scout Council in San Francisco hosts a neat "bridging ceremony" for girls at the end of Junior Girl Scouts where the girls walk across the Golden Gate Bridge and have a ceremony on the other side.
Hayley got to participate in this ceremony last weekend. She rode a bus up with some other local troops and they had a fun weekend in the city. Bethany, Celeste, and I went along as backup support as needed, but it turned out that we got to spend a lot of family time together.
For us, the highlights were a visit to Muir Woods and a "Green Thumb" geocache in a community garden (very neat concept) that overlooked the Golden Gate Bridge.
It was a very quick trip - drove up after school on Thursday and drove home on Sunday. However, definitely memorable and worth the visit.
P.S. BobV (if you get to read this) - we thought about looking you up while we were in the area, but simply ran out of time. For what it's worth, we did a little wave towards Oakland to say hello as we drove towards it on the Bay Bridge (not sure what part of Oakland you are in, so we generically greeted the city!).

We've had girls from our area do that Bridging Ceremony at the GG Bridge as well.
I have always thought it interesting that in our area here, where we're surrounded by creeks, streams and rivers, that we'll do our bridging ceremonies in a gym over a little fake bridge!
Of course, I've never been in charge... See, I don't volunteer for EVERYTHING!
:P
