At the end of August, I'll be driving down from Seattle to San Francisco with my father-in-law on the PCH. We'll have roughly four and half days to get from SEA to SFO, and am super excited about the trip.
Has anyone done this trip before? Any advice / suggestions? Looking for anything relating to night sky programs, or must sees that are not quite the normal stopping points.

Eat at Nepenthe in Big Sur. They have a grilled shrimp BLT that will blow your socks off.
- Oh I wish we could make it to Big Sur, but unfortunately our stopping point is SFO "/skwiotsmith

Here's some Oregon suggestions.
Pelican brewing just north of Tillamook, cool rock and place to grab a beer right on the beach. Then drive into Tillamook and get some cheese.
Check out Mo's in Newport for awesome clam chowder and go a few doors up to Rouge's taphouse. The Aquarium in Newport is pretty nice too.
Some really cool lighthouses all along the way if you like that kind of thing. I think you can even stay in a few overnight.
Beautiful drive, enjoy it!

You could head out to the end of Point Reyes... check out the lighthouse and all. It's a pretty cool little drive. Cowgirl Creamery is based in Point Reyes Station as well... and their cheese rules.
Don't forget wine country too... you've got Sonoma/Napa wineries you can tour and such as well.
