  Humphry Slocombe in the Mission has great, interesting iced cream flavors http://www.humphryslocombe.com/

  Take a walk or bike down the full length of Golden Gate Park to the Beach.

  Visit the Botanical Gardens in Golden Gate Park to see a wide variety of plants. Spring is a great time to visit.

  Walk the Lands End Trail.

  Rent a car and drive across the Golden Gate Bridge and explore the amazing views of the narrow road along the hills in the Marin Headlands. My favorite stretch of road is right after Hawk Hill.

  View the city from Twin Peaks.

  Go to Off the Grid, a collection of food vans, at Fort Mason on Friday night.

  D, yeah it's a cool little place. they have three stores in total that are really more about the writing rather than the selling. the other two are in chicago and nyc (all dif theme based).

  It's almost more of an exploratorium. they have some great prints and shirts though...and some other interesting pirate-based trinkets. if you end up making it there give me a shout, as i only live about a mile away.

  easy. did it 5 years ago. rent car, go across golden gates bridge, drive for about and hour, drink fancy wine. go to the coppola vinyard if it's still there, he had a bunch of cool props from his movies upstairs.

  drink wine, and eat good food. that's all i can remember doing. but it was fun. we had a little picnic lunch at one vineyard and a nice dinner before we left. drove south through Berkeley, it was cool.
