Narrows Bridge 3 Grand Opening Party

Sunday the 15th of July the new Narrows Bridge opened. They threw a big party and let everyone walk across the bridge. Gary thought it would be great for the kids to have this 'once in a lifetime' experience' to walk on the new bridge, so we went. We got there about to the parking area about 3:30, waited for the shuttle bus, and then found out that we just missed the last run! The bus drivers told us there was plenty of parking closer down to the bridge, so we went on down and did get a spot right close, but when we walked down to get on the bridge, a policeman stopped us and said they were told to not let anyone else on the bridge starting at 3:45!! We just missed it! We begged, but he wouldn't let us pass. So as we disappointedly walked toward our car, one of the spectators told us we could climb down the beauty bark up by the honey buckets, so we went over there and stood there a while looking at the bridge...there was a cop below! Then Abbey had to go potty, so I took her down, no cops...so I tried to get the rest of the family down...then Abbey got afraid and decided she needed to go back up! Finally, Gary and Jacy came down and we walked onto the bridge while Desi and Abbey waited up top!
It was kinda disappointing to not get the full experience...we could have gotten passports and gotten a stamp at each end of the bridge, walking it, but at least we got on! Aren't we sneaky?!
