If you drop your wallet, kick it to Oakland before you pick it up.

Wine Country, USS Hornet (across the bay in Alameda), Steinhart Aquarium and Natural History Museum has just finished renovation and it’s incredible, Fenton’s Ice Cream Parlor in Oakland, The Tech Museum and Winchester Mystery House in San Jose.

Ducks in the window in Chinatown Yum.
Alcatraz.
Just going from memory have not been to the City for 20yrs now.
Also the usual tourist haunts, Ghiradelli Square, Fisherman’s Wharf, Coit Tower, Union Square, Lombard Street, golden gate Bridge, and Pier 39.
The San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park is really worth the time and money. It has a number of sailing ships and a WW2 US submarine. From there you can walk all the way out to Fort Point (long walk, but very enjoyable on a pleasant day) and visit the masonry fort built to protect the harbor in the 1840s. You can also see the underside of the Golden Gate Bridge from there — quite impressive. You can walk back but you might think about getting a taxi back from there.
Check out the home of the Irish Coffee...the Buena Vista, right by Ghiradegli Square. Great place to people watch!!
Also, make sure to pick up your heart on the way out.
If you’re feeling frisky, wear your McCain/Palin button and be prepared to respond to the verbal and maybe physical assaults you are sure to be subjected to.

Yes. If you drop anything, don't bend over to pick it up.
I had to travel to SF on election night 2002 — the sad faces of the CNN talking heads on the airport TV monitors told me it was a good night. Got to experience lots of Schadenfreude the next morning. But the one thing that has stuck with me about that trip was that streetsigns, lightposts, etc. were plastered with stickers supporting some state or local ballot measure, and they read, “Pelosi says: Yes on ###” (can’t remember the number). I’ve never seen that anywhere else, and I thought it was a pretty sad commentary on the intelligence of the local electorate (or at least the intelligentsia’s opinion of the intelligence of the local electorate).
“Any advice? “
Put a blindfold on your kid.
Restaurants: Zachary’s Pizza in Oakland or Berkeley (across the bay). Sam’s Anchor Cafe (north of SF in Tiburon). Mike’s at the Crossroads (best burgers, north of SF in Cotati). Mel’s Diner on Lombard (kid’s love it). The Sunday Brunch at the Palace Hotel is absolutely incredible (but pricey).
