[quote=Anonymous]Drive up the PCH as much as you can. Start in Disneyland and unless budget is no issue stay just across the street. You can get a room with bunk beds at the Courtyard and it's as easy a walk as the budget on site property. Honestly two days is plenty at Disneyland unless you're huge ride people and the two year old won't be able to do much.

Stop in Santa Barbara. There's a great kids museum there and Third Window brewing is excellent beer and kid friendly. There's beach plus town so could work for a couple days.

Stop at Avila Barn on the way up. It's a small farm and food stand and an excellent place to get a low key snack and keep kids entertained.

Stay in Monterey for a night. There's the aquarium which at least my similarly aged kids love.

I'd then spend the last five nights in the Bay Area. The Bay Area Discovery Museum is perfect. Plenty of climbing and crafts for the seven year old and sand and little kid areas for the two year old. Plus you get an incredible view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Eat in Sausalito or bring in your own food.

Muir Woods is a simple enough National Park that during that season it should be manageable with the cuts. Hook Fish Lab is another good brewery that's very kid friendly.

If your kids are into science I highly recommend the California Academy of Sciences. My personal highlight was breakfast burritos at Breakfast Little eaten at the playground at Dolores Park which on a nice day has an incredible view of the Bay. The slide at the top is one of the best playground views I've seen.

If you want to adventure further you could hit Napa and Sonoma, the later has the Charles Shultz museum.

Since you have to drive a lot anyways I would stay outside SF proper just for convenience.[/quote]
