Bumping this since I'm planning on doing San Fran during our Thanksgiving weekend (so basically Fri-Tues). Wanted to get some input on some potential sights I hadn't seen mentioned here. They're not really strictly San Fran but they're within driving distance:
*Redwood Forests or even Yosemite
*Sonoma Valley/Napa
*San Jose/Silicon Valley
I figured the giant sequoia trees in the Redwood forests might be pretty cool to see, but is there anything more outside of this? Yosemite is a bit further drive and I might consider it but will have to do more research as to whether it's worth the 4 hours each way drive.
Napa seem interesting but I'm not really a drinker. I like goofing around with the camera so I figured the scenery might be nice but is it worth the trip just for that? Sonoma Coast looks nice so perhaps I might add that to the trip.
Silicon Valley is probably the biggest maybe I have on my list. It's kinda cool to be around the big tech companies since I'm a bit of a tech nerd. However, you can't really tour the campus so you're really just loitering outside taking pictures or buying some fanboy merch at their stores. Anyone done this trip and can speak on whether it's worth the time?
Any other suggestions outside of the usual tourist attractions to visit?
