Fresno/Tulare area - lots of different crops

Take Hwy 180 east and go up to see some giant redwoods - they'll take your breath away if you've never seen one before.

If you've got a good "roller coaster" stomach, grab Hwy 198  back to Visalia - beautiful drive, but more twists and turns and up/downs than any other road I've been on.

Yosemite is to the north a bit with beautiful waterfalls and rock stuff.

Coastal Highway is fantastic going south from San Francisco.  You'll be stopped to look as much as your driving so you'll need plenty of time for that segment.

Just a couple ideas..............

Update:  Ok, a few more ideas.....

San Francisco has Alcatraz, Pier 39 (I think that's the one), trolley cars that are fun

Monterey is a must stop - the aquarium.
