Head over to Fisherman's Wharf to visit the
Musee Mecanique or tour the WWII submarine
USS Pampanito. Try riding the
Cable Cars too...the POWELL-HYDE line has the best views and the CALIFORNIA line is the least crowded. The
Cable Car Museum is really interesting too. Head up to
Twin Peaks for a fantastic 360 degree view of the City. The
Disney Family Museum in the Presideo is a real treat. It's not just about Disneyland but more about Walt's life, career and the pursuit of his vision. The
Exploritorium is big fun for kids of all ages. Driving around SF is a total PITA and trying to park a car is a challenge...be prepared. BTW, Milpitas isn't just
"right across the 101 outside the airport"...it's actually over on the other side of the Bay. If you want dim sum, don't waste your time going there...just head over to Chinatown.
On your drive down to Laguna Seca, Bruce Canepa's shop in Scotts Valley is well worth a visit to get you primed for Rennsport. If you drive south on 101 then head out to the coast over Route 17, you'll pass right by it. Check it out here:
Canepa Design.
The weather should be perfect for for your visit and for the event...clear & sunny with temps in the mid-60s for both SF and the Laguna Seca area.
