California Top 10

I have made a list of things I want to do before I leave California. I probably won't be able to do them all in the next 3 months but I am going to try to do as many as reasonably possible. Please let me know if you have suggestions for things I should not miss:

1. Tahoe: Julie and I are going next month! Hopefully there will still be snow so we can cross-country ski.
   
2. Yosemite: I went 17 years ago (old) with my family but have not been in all the time that I've lived out here. Hopefully I won't get as car sick or suffer from elevation induced nosebleeds as last time.
   
3. Monterey Bay Aquarium: I hate zoos but apparently this place is all about preserving the ocean creatures and they are free to swim around. That's why I heard at least.
   
4. Humboldt: I want to go say hi to Fairley's fam and the beautiful red woods.
   
5. The Lost Coast: Foolie hiked this once by herself--she is brave!
   
6. Point Reyes: Corey, you know that our annual trip is long overdue.
   
7. Angel Island: Supposed to have awesome views of the city.
   
8. Chabot Space & Science Center: Angie loves this place and I have been meaning to go forever.
   
9. Salvation Mountain/Slab City: I want to meet that sweet old man so much!
10. Many many hot springs: I'm going to try to work them in as much as possible.
    

Restaurants

1. Chez Panisse: If any rich ladies want to take me there, I'm game!
2. Millennium (again and again and again)
3. farmer brown's: love the local farmers
