Go to Haight and Ashbury Streets, too. It's a great place to walk around, window shop, grab a bite, and really experience San Francisco.

Winchester Mystery Mansion, Wax museum, helicopter ride, Haight-Ashbury, Trolley rides, Chinatown, North beach, Ripleys believe it or not museum.

The pier is nice and you can have soup in a breadbowl, yum!! I have never been to Alcatraz, I keep meaning to do it by the waits are long ,etc. Walking or biking across the Golden Gate bridge would be fabulous. The stores along the pier are nice, but they get old fast (I'm not much of a shopper) and the one really interesting store closed down (a Michael Goddard gallery). Personally I'm done after a couple of hours. Napa is very close by, you could drive (or take a bus if you really want to sample the wine). Lombard lane is cool (the zig zaggy one) but I don't think they let you drive down it anymore. Have fun! I just went again a couple of weeks ago. It's a cool city.

You have a rental car, so you can go on any number of daytrips within a two hour radius of San Francisco. As with New York City or Washington DC, you'll see a bunch of landmarks - the Golden Gate Bridge, Transamerica Building, Coit Tower, Chinatown Gate, Grace Cathedral, Lombard Street, the California Supreme Court, Palace of Fine Arts - just by driving around at random. So it would be redundant for me to suggest that you visit those. You're going to see them anyway. Head to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk (the "Coney Island" of the West Coast). http://www.beachboardwalk.com/ If you want a zoo with thrill rides, go to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. If you just want the thrill rides, drive down to Great America. http://www.sixflags.com/discoveryKingdom/ http://www.pgathrills.com/ For outdoors activities, head to Golden Gate Park (which has everything from horseback riding to archery). Or go for a hike in the Marin Headlands and Muir Woods. Some of the trees in Muir Woods are the size of 40 floor skyscrapers (among the tallest anywhere). Alcatraz is famous because of the prison. But going to a jail is depressing to some people. If you don't know if you'd like to tour Alcatraz, you should go to Angel Island instead. It is one of the more attractive harbor islands. And there's plenty of space for biking and hiking. http://www.blueandgoldfleet.com/Ferry/Angel/angelislandsummer051208102608.cfm If you're old enough to enjoy it, Wine Country is great for relaxation. Take a tour of the wineries. Or visit a spa. http://www.sonoma.com/ http://www.napavalley.org/
