SF> Santa Cruz > Monterey > Big Sur along Highway 1 (Pacific Coast highway)
The scenery there is beyond compare.
Napa is nice, but why bother if you're not into wine?
San Jose is pretty nondescript. But they do have the Winchester House. Maybe stop by on the way back from the PCH.
Yosemite is too far, you'll waste a whole day going back and forth. And the drive is thru some very flat and dull farmland.
