I'd recommend driving up Page Mill and then turning right and driving along Skyline till you get to Skylonda. Skyline runs along the ridge of the Santa Cruz mountains, so you can see the Valley on one side and the sea on the other. I'd also recommend visiting Palo Alto and Stanford. The main downtown of Palo Alto is University Ave. Copious free parking. The best cafe IMO is Coupa, on Ramona just off University. If you want to explore a bit, walk south on Waverley or Bryant. Great frozen yogurt at Fraiche, on Emerson 2 blocks south of University. The original home of Shockley Semiconductor is still there, on San Antonio Road in Los Altos. Woodside is sort of interesting. Buck's is the big landmark in the town center. Good brunch.
