San Jose, San Franciso, and Fresno Cali dreamies

Hey guys,

I will be in the area pretty soon and I just want some advice from you guys as far as the places I should stay away from and places I should visit while I'm there.
I will arrive to San Jose by airplane and I am not sure where I will go from there.

Thanks.

you should visit me! ilike to meet fellow dreamers and im in SJ (jk)

SF is a sure bet. SJ kinda lame. Fresno....uh

San Francisco is pretty nice place to chill..

Buddy this is CALI, stick to anywhere big and its chill. FRENSO haha i dont know about that, anywhere in the central valley is eh.

The reason I am going to Fresno it's because a few of my friends have family there. My intentions were to go to SF only but whatever.
How far is SJ from SF?

about an hour drive. or 40 to 60 min. SF is def worth it, weather is pretty good this weekend too.

Stop by Santa Cruz for at least a day, it's 45 min south of San Jose and it's a completely different world, lol.

Here are some places around there to check out:
If it's not raining

Henry Cowell State Park : Humongous redwood trees, hiking trails, river.

Nisene Marks:
More redwood trees, hiking trails, ocean views.

In Santa Cruz there's the boardwalk, downtown and its street performers, breweries, coffeeshops, the UCSC campus, etc. There's a couple of restaurants on highway 1, in Davenport (north of Santa Cruz)

You guys could also stop by the Monterey Bay Aquarium, it's 30 min south of SC.

Sometimes there's shows in Big Sur (south of Santa Cruz), check this out:

From there you could go to San Luis Obispo and stop by Hearst Castle. Highway 1 is a nice drive, very scenic. From SLO you can go back up north, inland, to Fresno.

SJ-SF-HW 1 TO SC-SLO-FRESNO would be a nice route.

Man, I should be a tour guide. Have fun!

Cool, thanks for taking the time to type this. I will definitely beg my friend to take me there now, we should have plenty time.

Santa Cruz is beautiful... Gosh, I love bay area. Mountain biking in the Nisene forest is so sweet.

And hows the weather out there guys? I'm going in 3 weeks but I just want to know what to expect. I'm in Texas so I only own shorts and tank tops, we do not know what jackets are.
