In San Fran, you can go to Fisherman's Wharf, Alcatraz and Golden Gate Park (scenic + many museums). Then you can cruise down Highway 1 from there and check out the beautiful coast, down to Monterey (Laguna Seca), Carmel, then Santa Cruz and Big Sur, then further on down is Hearst Castle in Cambria, a really great stop and very good to go this time of year (not the tourist season). Incredible cruise from Northern CA. In LA you can do the amusement park things (Magic Mountain, Disneyland), Universal Studios, the beach thing, Catalina Island (must do, very scenic, go by boat), great zoos and wild animal parks in San Diego. The Napa wine country is out by me, I'm happy to take you on a tour! I'm near Sacramento, also happy to meet you guys and show you the City (San Fran).

The wife and I have 2 passes for free round trip airline tickets to anywhere in the continental US and we thought CA might be a fun place to go since neither of us have been there before. Where should we go and what are the best attractions? Suggestions? We're thinking early July for about a week.
