recursive tarball

hey, does anyone know how to omit a few directories when making a tarball recursively.

Lets say
Code:
tar -cvzf backup.tar.gz foo_dir
Yet there are certain directories inside foo_dir I want the tarball to omit. How would I go about doing something like that.

Thanks for your time,
Dave
