One thing I love to do whether it's fall, spring or summer (when it's not humid and hot) is to walk over the Williamburg Bridge. I use to walk over the bridge at least once or twice a year, but I wasn't able to the last two years. My boyfriend and I have been so busy we didn't have time to enjoy the more simple activities the city has to offer.
So finally last month we were able to walk over the bridge. We've walked over the bridge a couple of times before and finally this time the weather was on our side. I never feel scared when walking the bridge and there are plenty of people walking or riding their bikes. Some people go for a run on the bridge too, which I think is a great idea. I think running over the Williamsburg Bridge is almost liking being on your own of marathon. Plus you'll probably burn a bunch of calories and not even notice it since you're outside and enjoying the view.
The first time my boyfriend and I walked over the bridge was in the summer of 2008. I remember it because we had just started dating and I told him I never walked over it before. The only bad thing was we picked a really hot and humid day, which was a big fail on our part. Then another time we had walked over the bridge it was in the spring time and it had just gotten dark. There were still people around, but to be on the bridge at night was a little creepy. Then the J train was passing and I was a little jumpy at the times. Although it was dark there were still people walking and people riding their bikes. It just seems like people are always there.
So finally this time around we walked the bridge a little past six so the sun was almost about to go down and it wasn't as humid or hot as the first time around. The first few times we walked the bridge we never took any pictures, so I made sure we took pictures this time around. Although my boyfriend makes fun of me we still took the pictures anyways and it came out real cute. Who doesn't love a selfie here and there.
Walking the Williamsburg Bridge doesn't take long at all. I think it took us about forty five minutes to an hour and this was because we were taking our time. Once over the bridge we did go to the bar and got ourselves a beer. It just seemed like the right thing to do.
Another bridge I'll have to walk over is the Brooklyn Bridge. I think the views from there will be amazing and it's definitely something to do on my bucket list.
