Hi Everyone,

It's been awhile since I posted but am skipping Disney this year and taking a trip to the Redwood Forest with my mom and husband. We plan on flying into San Francisco and spending 3 nights there, and then making the 4 hour drive up to the redwood area.

All of you always have such wonderful advice and was wondering if you would care to share some tips, must-sees, best areas to visit, restaurants, hotels, and anything that comes to mind!

We are planning on going in July, as June is off-limits because of an out-of-state wedding I'm in. September doesn't work well with our work schedules. I've heard it can be a bit rainy, but I wasn't sure if that's relative to sunny CA weather.

Thanks in advance for your help!
