We plan on a day in Napa Valley, not too much fun with a 13 year old, so a quick drive through. Then SF for 2 days, seeing the main sights, taking a harbor cruise and then heading to Monterey. The Aquarium is top on our list, and I'm thinking of getting a membership, just to be able to go a few days.
We want to go on a whale watching cruise, so I'll look at the info you posted. From what I have read, people are saying you can see whales from the beach. I've seen dolphins when I was on Huntington Beach, so maybe...???!!!!
We mostly would like to find a place to just relax, maybe with a kitchen to make breakfast and pack lunches. After our WDW trip this Spring Break, dh wants to plan the next trip and has picked San Francisco and the area! I was thinking of playing golf at Pebble Beach, but found out it is $450 each, not gonna happen, LOL!!!
