Can anyone suggest some things that our team may be able to see after the event on Sunday? Our flight doesn't leave until 8:30 PM Sunday night, so we've got all day Sunday for sight-seeing and such. We'd planned to go to Great America, but its season doesn't begin until the following weekend.

We're also considering trying to take a train to San Francisco for the day, but I'm worried that it'll take far too long. What else is there to see in the San Jose area besides the Tech Museum and, say, the Winchester Mystery House?
If you like hockey and the Sharks are in town, that's an option. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend taking the Caltrain up to San Francisco. It's an hour and a half each way, and $13.50 a person for a day pass. Go ride the street cars, hang out at Pier 39... it's a lot of fun. San Jose is a nice place, but as far as having stuff to do, I've found it to be pretty limiting, particularly with Great America being closed. </twocents>
