Coming out the the west coast? your're going to have a great time out here. Close to Petaluma, I would consider checking out Bodega Bay, its literally on the cliffs of the Pacific Ocean and an old small fishing town; extremely beautiful! If you are bringing the camaro and are into racing, Infineon Raceway is about 15 mins from Petaluma and drag races are on Wednesday nights.

There is San Francisco, which is a tourist type place, lots of cool things to check out:
Golden Gate Bridge
Fisherman's Wharf
Lombard Street
Seal Beach
Ocean Beach
Treasure Island (good place to take photos as it was an old military base)

If you are into Wine Tasting, Napa Valley has some of the best wineries on the West Coast. There are a lot within a 30 min drive of Petaluma.

If you're into lakes, Clear Lake is about a 1-2 hour drive from San Francisco; theres lots of open water, you can rent boats, jet skis, house boats. One of the nicer lakes in the area.

If you decide to head down to SoCal, theres a lot down there, but if you have the time I would recommend taking Hwy down. It takes a lot longer than taking I-5 straight down, but its an absolutely scenic drive.

Pretty late so thats all I can think of off the top of my head!
