are there any other destinations that we should see while in CA?

San Francisco is a fantastic city to visit (in fact, a lot of folks
would consider it a better tourist city than L.A.)

To the south of San Franciso is the lovely Monterey area, where you'll
find fantastic ocean views (especially on the "17-Mile Drive" scenic
drive). Further south are more spectacular ocean views in the Big Sur
area, and further south is Hearst Castle.
