Seattle
port angeles days inn 不错， super8 不好。downtown 坐ferry到port angeles 大概2.5hr， 开车也是 2 hr 22 min。
ferry edmonds-kingston的这条路线，从我们住的酒店到今天的目的地－port angeles开车大概2个半小时
Olympic NP
"深度"两日游
1)西雅图出发,从Edmonds乘渡轮到Kingston, 可以再渡轮上观赏Mt Baker雪山.
2)从Kingston下船后,先开车到Port Gamble休息, 漂亮的海边历史小城, 秋季赏大丽花
3)开到Port Angeles, 经过Sequim的薰衣草园,秋季可观赏薰衣草
4)开车上山到Hurricane Ridge观雪山, 一路上观景点都可以停车拍照. 到Hurricane Ridge后, 体力好的可以继续延Hurricane Hill往山上走, 体力一般或者春天,在停车场周围的山坡拍照.
5)回Port Angeles, 午餐, 看海港,远眺加拿大Victoria
6)下午开车到Lake Crescent, 赏湖景
7) 走Marymere Falls, 看雨林. 或者开车到Sol Duc看雨林
(如遇雨天, 不要开上Hurricane Ridge. 上午去Lake Crescent一带,下午去Dungeness 看海)
8)从Lake Crescent开到Forks吃晚饭(Pizza), 如果是夏天,开到La Push First Beach看日落. 住在Forks, 或者camp在Mora
9)第二天有几个选择,
i) 沿海边往南, 一路经过ruby, beach1-4, 然后经过Lake Quinault ,从南边回
ii)往北去Cape Flattery ,然后顺着Route 112回, 一路都在海边开,一边是大海一边是峭壁.
iii)上午去Rialto beach或者second beach走走, 中午回Fork午饭, 下午去Hoh

iii)上午去Rialto beach或者second beach走走, 中午回Fork午饭, 下午去Hoh
第二天白天hurricane ridge, elwha ranger, lake crescent，然后去sol duc 走trial. 晚上住在Forks
过了Cresent, 下一个景点是Sol Duc Hot Springs. 开车进去要一个多小时，去那里可以泡泡温泉
这次来Olympic一个非常非常重要的任务就是看日落。在second beach稍坐片刻后，我们就起身赶往最著名的Rialto Beach. 在101和Mora Road分叉的地方，有一家小饭店，主要是卖些burger, pizza, fish & chip之类的东西，主人家非常好客可爱。我们买了些吃的，带到beach上边看日落边吃。关于Rialto beach, 有一个吐血推荐。到了beach, 请一路往北走，走呀走呀，就会看到一个很靠近岸边的小石头岛，小石头岛中间有个洞，退潮的时候，里面住满了海星啦，水母啦，海胆啦，海葵啦，clam啦，绝对谋杀你的胶卷！当然，去之前请去visitor center打听好Tide的时间。
第三天上午去Hoh rain forest, Ruby beach，下午开回seattle
在Seattle前三个晚上都住在Lynnwood的Extend America. priceline bid来的。条件一般般，虽然是nonsmoking的房间，还是有味道，不过有厨房还是挺方便。离去Olympics的ferry非常近，附近一整条街都是商店，shopping不错。
Olympics住在Forks的Dew Drop Inn, 是个半motel半B&B的地方，是在traveladvisor里头找到的，review不错，房间大，干净，价格合理。
university of washington 附近的university way 解决，真是条热闹的大学街。我们在一个Thai vegetarian吃的，意想不到的好吃。
如果在西雅图的话，可以去alki beach, ballard lock, space needle, the great wheel in downtown, boeing aviation museum,李小龙的墓在bellevue, olympic national park要至少2天一晚才够。 吃饭主要中国城，点心皇物美价廉， 绿杨村， 都不错。 uw里的那个qq mini hotpot有肉夹馍，羊肉泡馍等。 有个西北豆腐，中国城不远的周末的豆浆油条现做的，不错。 你从airport去downtown只有check in 行李的话可以坐light rail,不然 rate是40刀 one way. 下雨的话你可能去ballard lock更好，不怎么影响。http://www.jiansnet.com/topic/781/Best-Chinese-Restaurants-In-Seattle

然后去Gresham的一个叫Nicholas的中东馆子吃饭。。。。。这个店在portland市里也有一间。怎么说呢。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。一定要去吃啊！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！牛肉羊肉巨大一盆，无数的米饭和一个大pita。超级好吃，还便宜。泪都下来了。打包了一半，第二天还吃了一顿晚饭。。。。所见之处没有人不打包的
1. Day1 Cannon Beach，午饭，在beach上玩，小town里溜达溜达，咖啡馆坐坐
驱车1小时左右到portland市里，Japanese Garden，Rose Garden, (还可以顺便去趟zoo，如果有兴趣的话），然后黄上皇吃晚餐，check-in hotel

到波特兰的第一天早上起来先是去了一家当地人热荐的Mother's Bistro餐厅吃breakfast。特意要了带土豆的早餐。。。食物的味道也没让人失望，感觉就是menu上随便点任何一款都不会出错，价格也很合理，难怪店里人满为患了
另外一家推荐的餐厅叫OX，是阿根廷菜，但是我们5点打电话过去说，要等至少90分钟……于是……我们就坚定的放弃了。

Oregon: Crater lake NP
觉得最佳观赏时间是傍晚和上午。日落景象一定非常壮观（我没有看成），而倒影是只有上午才能看到（粗略估计是2点以前）。所以十分推荐傍晚先来看日落，找个不远的地方住下，第二天一早再来

California Beach

Sausalito是个漂亮的小镇，开过金门桥，过一条玩玩绕的小路，就能到达了。
- Point Reyes National Seashore
加州有无数海滩，但惟有这里被称作National Seashore也就是仅次于国家公园的level。有无数的动物可以看，密度差不多仅次于黄石了。Point Reyes里面主要看两处海岸，走一下Tomales Pt Trail，以及在灯塔附近看海岸线，会令你终身难忘
- Mendocino
其实mendocino这一个地儿就够住三天的了。可以一天beach+小镇，一天去lost coast
hiking，一天wine tour.
最后我们就来到了mendocino. 这是一个安静而悠闲的小镇。 据说在很多很多年前
golden rush的年代， 淘金累的人偶然发现这么个海边的小镇， 周围茂盛的红衫树林
， 方便的水上交通， 让这个小城市迅速发展起来。 现在的mendocino, 到是远近闻名
的度假胜地。 半岛的地形， 蜿蜒的海岸线， 随便一个山坡， 一个拐角都是绝佳的观
景点。 我们的小木屋也在海边， 站阳台上， 躺浴缸里， 都能欣赏到美丽的海景。
到上一杯当地的wine, 坐椅子上， 看落日， 看潮汐。

powell mansion line， 起点开始坐起， 一路往海边开， 再去渔人码头
桥的南北两端都有观景点，桥南端那个VISITOR POINT是人最多的，那有主建筑师的雕像和纪念商店。桥的西南面，临海的的山坡上，可以FREE停车，然后从桥的左后方照相，也不错，能从水平照桥。桥北端得VISITOR POINT，可以看桥，也可以看SF城的景色。桥西北面的山上，开车上去，可以俯瞰照相。过桥北上的时候不收费，回程收费5刀。

三藩主要景点就是：渔人码头，九曲花街，双子峰，金门桥，艺术宫，恶魔岛，唐人街，再加上联合广场的购物中心。lz的问题太笼统了，如果完全没有概念的话，不妨参加三藩一日游，基本这些地都去了。然后根据第一天的经验，再到十分感兴趣的地方去逛。
九曲花街与渔人码头很近。附近还有三藩的巧克力工厂：chiradelli square。去恶魔岛的轮渡也在附近。金门桥和艺术宫在一条线上。唐人街与联合广场只有几街之隔。双子峰可以和castro同性恋区归为一天。还有时间的话可以去逛逛golden gate park，很漂亮
这里开车来严重有Tips！lz一般不和别人说哦~~如果开车直奔大桥跟前的停车场，那是绕啊绕也等不出个车位的。而如果沿着水边的Marine Dr开到头，会出现大片大片的停车场，和一个伸出水面的大Deck，站在上面，左边是桥，右边是三藩市，还有各种海鸟。另外，看大桥一定要多穿衣服，防风保暖。去金门桥照相的最佳地点是在南边接三藩市的地方，在上桥之前右侧出口下来，路边标志是写着，"last SF Exi"t. 下来后左转，有一片停车场，这张就是从那里照的，千万不要开上桥哦，那样只能直接开过去sausalito了
在三藩一定要住在Union Square和Market St附近，公共交通或者腿儿着，各种方便，次选才是Nob Hill或者渔人码头，肺腑之言。

for sf, sure the parking is like a hell. i see $22 for one day here. so i strongly suggest you take public transportation in sf(yeah, public transportation in sf is much better than la, in la, you probably need to rent a car). from sfo airport,you may take bart to sf(any line from sfo, take exit of montgomery st if you want to go to union sqaure or embarcadero st if you want to go to china town/fisherman's wharf). there are a lot of buses in downtown as well, you can transfer once you are in downtown.
如果你们打算在旧金山市区住酒店的话，最好进出就不要开车了，市区里面停车贵而且不好找位。一般酒店里面都有一些免费的市区图和免费的旅游介绍，经常附有一些coupon，包括租自行车的coupon，比如 $5 off 之类，挺好用的。
如果在市区玩，可以先买张公共交通图，然后买一张visitor pass（有一天的或者几天连用的),这样不但可以坐最出名的cable cart,还可以任意坐其他公交车,我觉得比自己开车要好. 特别是如果你不习惯城市交通的话,旧金山出名的高低大坡不是很容易开.在交通里面在45度角的半坡上等红灯变绿实在要有一定的心理素质才行.如果你自认车技不错,又愿意等,那么不妨自己开车拐下被誉为世界上最曲折的街道lombard st.否则就自己走下去也可以看到很好的风景.要想看旧金山市区全景,可以开车上twin peaks或者开过金门大桥去口北面的一个山坡顶.卖visitor pass的店不是很多但可以事先预定/邮购，建议你到加州交通部的网站上看。

De Young Museum,门票10刀, 我是觉得超值的啊，去之前怕儿子不喜欢看，没有想到这个museum很family friendly,儿子也很enjoy,看得不亦乐乎，我们足足在里面逛到关门赶人。
de young 里面综合了american art, africa, oceania,还有special exhibition, free observation tower,天气好的时候，可以俯瞰整个三藩市，不过我们已经在住处天天看，看够了就没有上去。里面的展览很丰富，如果还要看special的展览，绝对需要半天在那里.
我选了 boudin sourdough and bakery,这家专门制作sourdough bread的连锁店其实在南加也有，为什么来这里呢，因为渔人码头这间总店是有museum和可以观看的面包制造工厂的，十分有趣。而且这里的bread bowl配clam chowder也是最好吃的。

Here are a few hints to help you plan around these delays. First of all tune your radio to 1130 AM, a Canadian radio station that gives border crossing times every 9 minutes. Alternatively, there's an electronic readerboard that shows the wait times at the various crossing points as you go through Bellingham on I-5 north (note that the Pacific Hwy crossing is referred to as SR 243) that shows all 4 crossings, and then another one as you approach Blaine that shows the main Peace Arch and truck crossing wait times.
go with an option that didn't include crossing the border from BC to WA at the Peace Arch or the nearby truck crossing due to the possible long wait to get into the US.
BC->WA customs, depending on the time and the day of the week, you could wait as little as 5 minutes or for over an hour

Vancover to Seattle : 2.5hrHere are a few hints to help you plan around these delays. First of all tune your radio to 1130 AM, a Canadian radio station that gives border crossing times every 9 minutes. Alternatively, there's an electronic readerboard that shows the wait times at the various crossing points as you go through Bellingham on I-5 north (note that the Pacific Hwy crossing is referred to as SR 243) that shows all 4 crossings, and then another one as you approach Blaine that shows the main Peace Arch and truck crossing wait times.
go with an option that didn't include crossing the border from BC to WA at the Peace Arch or the nearby truck crossing due to the possible long wait to get into the US.
BC->WA customs, depending on the time and the day of the week, you could wait as little as 5 minutes or for over an hour
