- Visit Haight Ashbury if you want to see the 60's reborn
- Go to Ghirdhelli Square and get some ice cream
- Drive down to Monterey on Highway 1 and enjoy the coastline - frankly, any drive on Hwy. 1 is gorgeous
I'll be out of town next week, or I'd meet up with you. Unfortunately, I am headed to Atlanta. Trust me, SF is the better city of the two.

I'll second osuche's recommendations. Before I retired, I used to get out to the Bay Area once or twice a year and over some ten years, got to try a bit of all she mentioned.
