I live near San Francisco Intl. Airport (SFO); here are some ideas...

  *	Monterey Bay Aquarium/coastal parks

	The 'Moon Jellies' alone are worthe the trip.  The coastal
	rocks have zillions of interesting critters living on them.
	(An upweling allows some 90% of the species found on the
	Pacific coast to be represented there.)

  *	Big Basin/Hwy. 35/Tunitas Creek Rd.

	If you like trees, here's where you can find them.

  *	SF/Cable Cars/Car Barn/Exploratorium/Golden Gate Park

	The Cable Car Barn is a cross between a museum and the guts
	of the cable car system.  worth visiting for hackers.

	The Exploratorium is a funky, wonderful collection of science
	toys that you're *encouraged* to play with.  It also has a
	really nifty store full of science goodies.

	The park has scads of museums, trees, etc.  Also nice places
	to kick back and relax.

  *	Foothill College Electronics Museum/Surplus stores

	The museum has lots of nifty old electronics cruft.  The local
	surplus stores do, too, though not so old, and for sale.  There
	are around two dozen (!) electronic surplus stores in the area.

  *	Golden Gate National Recreation Area, etc.

	Numerous large parks, hiking trails, etc.

Gotta go now - hope this helps...
