Cute Little Neighborhood Diner that I've eaten at and is perfect for club sandwich and a drink. A 12-15 min walk up Mandela to a local area that has a couple choice eating options.

This is a must check out place. Basically 4 restaurants under one roof with common seating. Seafood, Mexican, Sushi, Sausage. Good drink options as well. I would Uber there, or parking has been OK the dozen times we have gone.

V Satui basically moved a 600 year old Castle from Europe to Calistoga. The Wine is OK, the effort to build this is amazing. 100 wineries to go to on the way!

Winery specializing in BARREL TASTING! Compare the same grape in 3 different Oak Barrels. You'll be amazed. Make a Reservation before you go. You'll be talking about the experience forever! (continue up Silverado trail for more tastings afterwards!)

Read up on this new "experience" in SF and see if it's something you want to spend the afternoon exploring the exhibits. The DeYoung is there as well. Parking is at the Museum. Then you are in SF and might go to the Ocean. Check out Cliff House for a pricey dinner right on the Ocean.

Parks & Nature

Injured or 'abandoned' sea lions, seals, etc. are cared for here and released back to nature. Definitely need a car to get here, but the views on the way make this at least a 1/2 day trip and stop in Sausalito on the way back for a meal and view!

YOU CAN TAKE THIS PICTURE! Here's how: Bay Bridge or San Rafael Bridge to the Golden Gate Bridge. From San Francisco, driving North, exit at Alexander Ave (first exit), left at the end of the exit toward MARIN HEADLANDS. Don't get back on the bridge, go up the hill (keep right). PARK: You'll come to an area of parked cars on the left. Wait for a spot, and walk toward the Bridge! Get this picture. Continue on this road. Stop at the Gun Mounts and take some pictures there, then head down to the Marine Mammal Institute and perhaps Sausalito for lunch/dinner (through the one way tunnel). From the North (took the San Rafael bridge and drove South). Also exit at Alexander and turn left up the hill. See "PARK" above.
