Visit the Computer history museum and try to resist the impulse to hugh the Cray-1.

The tech in San Jose is also interesting.

Try to visit a state park or natural reserve nearby. Visit Carmel and point lobos (2hr drive from SF), Half Moon bay...

I googled "hugh verb" to see first if I wasn't missing some slang (not a native English speaker).. it seems not so.. I wonder in what way is the Cray-1 particularly huggable? (genuinely curious)
Probably the impulse to hug is out of pity because our phones in our pockets have way more computational power xD
I admit I'd probably be tempted to sit on the 2001-Space-Odyssey-style bench around it.. but hug it?
Pt. Reyes Lighthouse and Cafe Reyes (at Point Reyes Station on the way). Gorgeous views. Take 101 off Sir Francis Drake (the exit comes up on you very quick so pay attention).
