awesome, thanks.. i'll take note of that one.. trying to pack in as many things in a few days as possible haha

i'll update once we're back and let you guys know how many things we've done/been to in the time we're up there=)

theres a few websites that put out "do lists" on a weekly basis. they usually also have a cheap option, and lots of shows/concerts that are going on. check out kqed.org for the city, or the mercury news website for the south bay.

I like the sea lions... I recommend going up there, looking at the sea lions and leaving immediately after.
