Visiting Oakland/San Fran CA. area. Suggestions?

[Sako7STW]

My totally kick arse wife bought me tickets to the Nov. Kiss concert in Oakland. So we are headed there for 3-5 days and are trying to find out the "Dont miss this", and the, "dont miss that" of the San Francisco/Oakland area. We are HUGE light house fans so I know we may try and find some that are around there. What else should we make a point to go see?

We are thinking about hitting a Raiders game, although I hate them with a passion, I have never been to a NFL game so maybe I could get lucky and watch the Bengals whoop up on them! Then it is off to the Kiss concert that night, 4TH ROW FLOOR BABY!! I truly love this woman!

Thanks HUN!!

I think Highway 1 has some historic lighthouses. It is a cool drive along the coast with some really amazing scenery. Could drive down from San Francisco towards Santa Cruz.

So much cool stuff to do in the Bay Area.

Alcatrazz. If you go to a raiders game in anything but raiders gear, bring a gun.

Go to Fisherman's Wharf, stop at boudins for bread, it is the best sour dough bread in the world, they've been making it since 1849 and use the same mother dough. The Ripley's museum there was pretty cool too, then head to Napa Valley and have fun. I got a private tour at Opus and it was crazy cool, Hit Mondavi, Beringer and then hit some of the smaller vineyards.

Don't forget your butt plug, when you walk around Frisco. That place is a cess pool and that's no bullsh!t! Spent some time there when my ship was in dry dock at Hunters Point, when I was in the Navy years ago. I haven't been back sense and NEVER will.......
