If you are still in in the south bay and you want to see some redwoods head towards Santa Cruise it's about 30 to 45 mins from the Santa Clara Hilton. There two ways to go the most direct route would be the17 that winds its way through the Santa Cruz mountains it's I nice drive but very windee and keep in mine that it's the main thorofare from Santa Cruz to the Southbay so it can be busy and people drive it fast at times. If you want a more leisure drive it will take longer to get though but the scenery is a lot better take the 9 from Saratoga it will take you through Ben Lamont , Boulder Creek and eventually to Santa Cruz . When it Santa Cruz go to the boardwalk it's free to walk around but if you want to ride the rides you need to buy ticket but it's not that expensive. I would recommend riding the oldest wooden roller coaster on the west cost the Giant Dipper once. Then you can take highway 1 along the cost all the way back to San Francisco trip time two and from is about a hour or so . You can do all of this in a day. If you wants some good food in San Francisco there is plenty to be had but try Tommy's joint on Vine it's a hot-brau type of joint you order cafeteria style and it's open setting, the place has been there for almost 70 years and the decor has to be seen to believe. Also if you get a chance go to Haight Ashbury it a cool place to walk around but there are a far share of homeless but most of them are cool. Stop by cha cha cha Mexican restaurant the foods ok but sangria it's the shit. Wow ok I sound like a travelogue but I just love my where I'm from. One last think just drive or walk around San Francisco go to the golden gate park or ocean Beach just explore.
