Where can I take my fireworks-phobic dog on July 4?

One of my least-favorite times of year is coming up--July 4. My 11-old-Lab is terrified of fireworks and my husband and I are out of ideas about what to do to help her through this holiday. We do give her anti-anxiety medicine on July 4 itself, but there are days before and after the 4th when kids set off fireworks and she gets a panic attack and tries to escape from our house and yard and run without stopping. Plus, she is not the same for several days afterward, and is spooked by every little noise during that time.

We live in the San Francisco Bay Area. Does anyone have suggestions for dog-friendly places that are likely to be quiet & we can visit for a few days? Even if we can't go this year, we can try for next year!

Thanks, Heckabore
