Day 7: We didn't do much. We drove to the Apple headquarters in San Jose and took pictures by the sign.
Then, we drove a few miles away and saw the Google headquarters.
Afterwards, we just picked up my grandparents and cousins from the airport in San Fransisco and went to the house of the people who we are staying with for the next few days.Day 8: We had a loooong day. Our plan was to go to Armstrong Redwoods Nature Reserve and then tour San Fransisco, but we ended up visiting a winery (not drinking any of course), PUC and Elmshaven and then finally getting to the Redwoods around 6 o'clock. The trees there are so huge! There was one that had a big hole in the bottom that five of us stood in.
Day 9: Lots to tell about today. First, we went to the Jelly Belly Factory and took the tour on how they make the beans. 
We got to taste test some jelly beans and tried one that tasted exactly like pancakes and maple syrup. Oh, and guess what???? We saw a girl wearing a Camp Half-Blood t-shirt at the factory!!! My sister, cousin, and I got so excited! I bought some Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans and some Chicolate Frogs.After Jelly Belly, we drove into San Fransisco and took a bus tour of the city. We saw a lot of different things. Our tour guide/bus driver was kinda weird but we drove across the Golden Gate Bridge,
saw the Transamerica Pyramid,
saw the Painted Ladies,
Ghirardelli Square,
Fisherman's Wharf, China Town, Lombard Street, and lots of other things too. My parents actually drove down Lombard street in our car and it has all these tight turns and is very steep downhill. We stopped and ate at a small restaurant called Quickley but it was extremely slow. There was only one lady working there cooking food and taking orders. The food was really good though. Tomorrow we will see more of San Fransisco on foot probably and are visiting Alcatraz prison. Stay tuned for more exciting travels! (Wow, I sound like a tv salesman) Be back soon (hopefully)!
