Hit the Sonoma Coast. Not sure if you mean town of Sonoma or Sonoma County in general. If its the latter, go to the Coast... Fort Point is my favorite spot to hit in San Francisco, then Baker Beach.
Take advantage of nature and the beautiful Weather due to the worst period of drought the West has experienced in 1200 years... go for a hike in some Redwoods, hit some beaches, ride a bike across the GG bridge, kayak the bay from Sausalito. If you're looking for a decent Dead cover bands, Michaels on Main in Soquel/Santa Cruz does a Sunday GD series.
My mom (and I) were born in SF. She didn't like the name "Frisco."
Here is one of my favorite drives, mostly because there are a lot of good views and nature to explore along the way... and refreshment stops like Anderson Valley Brewing, makers of Boont Amber and others.
If you really like beer, could begin at the home of Pliny the Elder / Younger, Russian River brewery, in Windsor.
Guessing this route is not completely in Sonoma County, but close enough.
If you're into botanical gardens, there's a nice one on an oceanside bluff in Mendocino, too.
^ botanical gardens, there's a nice one on an oceanside bluff in Mendocino,
check check and doublecheck - all great suggestions. I also always suggest Armstrong St Pk over Muir Woods for redwood forest trails, though I don't know how fires have impacted the area.
So this will be a little bit out of the way if you are driving from SF to Sonoma, but if you like BBQ, sitting on the bay, and an eclectic Wicker Man vibe then it is the place to go. https://www.blackstarpig.com/
And if you like wine and find yourself driving through Anderson Valley on the way to Mendocino it is some of the best Pinot in the world.
I took the ! PCH from Santa Monica to Coos Bay 2 summers ago. Some of it was some scary shit driving. Luckily I was on some good weed that made me concentrate otherwise I would have pulled over and freaked out and slept until it was over.

1. Don't call it San Fran or the locals will be after you. I kid I kid.
I always like the coastal trail and sutro baths
Definitely spend some time in GGP.
I prefer Russian River to Sonoma, just seems more chill
Eat - so much good food. Partial to so many restaurants but love Ebisu for Sushi. Greens for the view. Papalote for the salsa. etc etc etc.

Those are pretty much all faux locals. The ones who moved there 10 - 20 years ago and complain that the city isn't what it used to be.
Most natives don't care much about that stuff.
Then again, it's harder and harder to find native San Franciscans nowadays.

I passed by there 2 summers ago. Seemed like a good place to stay right across the street from a small beach.
