With Labor Day just around the corner and the mass numbers of couples booking weekend travel plans, don't miss out on some terrific deals. There are many options available, each to fit your budget. Here is a list of great weekend getaways to explore this Labor Day weekend.

If you don't mind spending time behind the wheel driving you might consider visiting San Francisco, CA. There are some great weekend packages available!

Check out the great sightseeing packages available through Coach America. With an array of options from City Tours to Cable Car Tours, you can build your own unique package.

San Francisco has been home to the historic Ghirardelli Square since 1895 and was declared an official city landmark in 1965. Stay at the Fairmont Heritage Place, with discounted room rates of 30% when booking online. While there, visit their marketplace, the chocolate factory, many restaurants and the gorgeous view of the San Francisco Bay.

Lori's Diner is a great casual dining experience, bringing nostalgia with the American classics of the 50's. Traditional Burgers, French Fries and Ice Cream Sodas are the menu favorites amongst visitors of all ages.

For something a little more upscale, try the Cellar360 or Ana Mandara, while you are there. A little something for everyone can be found at Ghirardelli Square!

Next on our Labor Day weekend getaway is Solvang, CA. This authentic Danish Village surrounded by European Architecture and the Santa Ynez Valley is waiting to be explored.

Available accommodations range from the quaint bed & breakfasts, country style inns and many motels and full-service hotels ranging in prices. Visit their website for booking options and to search availability.

While you are in Solvang, CA you have to stop at Paula's Pancake House on Mission Drive. This moderately priced family restaurant offers a breakfast and lunch menu to die for. With delicious traditional Danish pancakes and waffles and mouth watering omelets, you won't want to miss out on this experience.

With many historic buildings, museums and quaint shops to choose from, stroll cobblestone streets of Solvang to fully enjoy its charm.

Just down the road from Solvang, you will come to the Chumash Casino Resort. This is not a place to stop for anyone traveling with minors as I.D. is required to enter and anyone under legal age will be turned away.

The casino offers over 2,000 slots and video gaming machines, various table games and bingo for you gambling enthusiasts. Open 7 days a week, 24 hours a day you can relax and play in this great casino.
