2 days outside San Francisco
We are traveling to San Fransisco for a week in September and have Saturday and Sunday open. Does anyone have any suggestions where to go north (or any direction) of San Francisco for Saturday night? We are 2 adults with a 4 year old and would like to stay in a town with places to walk at night with outdoor things to do in the day. We looked at places south but everywhere seems to have a 2 night minimum. Thank you!

Do you want to stay outside the city for a reason? You could just stay at the same hotel, and do some day trips - Berkeley, Carmel, Monterey, Muir Woods, Stinson Beach, San Mateo coastal beaches, Santa Cruz, Capitola -- all of those are doable as day trips.

That makes sense! The only reason I thought we should stay somewhere is my daughter gets carsick and I was trying to minimize our driving during one day. I will definitely look into day trips outside of San Francisco! Thanks for your help.

I love the East Bay & live there but Bart to Berkley? I can think of a coule of thousand better trips than that especially with a 4 year old. Monterey with the Aquarium & other attractions would be the first in my mind. A bit closer is the Beach at Santa Cruz. I believe the boardwalk is open on weekends in September. Lots of moderate priced places to stay. A bit more peaceful is a few miles South at Aptos with places on the lovely beach.

Thank you for all your ideas! I think we found a place near Monterey so we will head that way. Although later when we are in San Francisco we will take the BART to Berkeley. I was wondering the best way to get there. My teenage daughter is applying there for college next year. Thanks again for all your help!
