Yes, it's true that San Francisco is one of the most popular cities for tourists in the US, but city residents need getaways too.

Similarly, trips that let you slow down from the pace of city life or give you space to move (especially important for kids) are appealing. Whatever your motivations, there's an embarrassment of riches nearby.
