[quote=Anonymous]We just did this.

First, make your reservations far far in advance -- especially big sur/central coast accommodations. There are a limited number of hotels and they're expensive. We paid $300 for a  crappy motel.

The best part, in my opinion, is northern Cal, especially near Big Sur. Please make sure to hike through the redwoods either north of SF in Muir Woods or south of it in Big Basin. Truly thrilling. Yes to Point Lobos, yes to elephant seals and Hearst Castle. Hike every day if you can.

If you go to SF, don't spend too much of your time there. It's a cool city to visit but honestly there isn't a lot to do with kids. And, sadly, it reeks of urine and pot, is incredibly filthy and deranged homeless people are on every single block of the downtown area. I'm sorry to say this because I've always loved the city. Make sure to eat Chinese when you are there.

I would spend more time in Carmel/Big Sur area, a night in SB, a few nights in LA. Agree about pacific park at Santa Monica boardwalk. Hollywood Bowl performance, biking at Venice/Santa Monica beaches (you can rent bikes there). You can drive to SD in 3-5 hours, traffic depending.
