Do you know of any good places to visit/go to in the San Francisco, Fresno and LA areas?
The reason being is because I am leaving tomorrow to visit California.
I am visiting my husband's family in Fresno without my DH. (He was originally going as well but something at work changed his leave plans.)
Later in the week my SIL and I will be staying in LA. We are staying three nights at one of the Navy bases and three nights at a regular hotel.
My SIL also suggested we stop in San Francisco and asked if I knew what I wanted to do.
I never been to California so I thought asking some internet strangers might help start the list.. so any ideas?

San Francisco... Pier 39 is the "default" tourist location....pretty neat shops, kinda touristy but I think you can't NOT go...plus, they have Chocolate Heaven!

In San Fran the big shopping area is 5th/Market. There is a mall there with Bloomingdales, etc. and then an outside shopping district. Ghiradelli Square and Union Square too. And as Indiechix said you should go to Pier 39...rite of passage!
EDIT: if you are going to be there a few days you could swing over to the Napa Valley and Sausilito too.
