Geena and I had a great time hosting my brother Joe and his wife Becky here in the Bay Area. They better come back again real soon!

Here's a few noteable firsts for Joe:

1. First visit to Dave & Busters - Joe enjoyed consistently beating the local population at the basketball game.
2. First visit to the Hard Rock Cafe on Pier 39 - Their veggie burgers are awesome, and I didn't hear anyone else complaining about their non-veggie foods :).
3. First visit to Ghirardelli Square - Yummy chocolate, sundaes, malts, and cappucinos (and Becky, Geena and I got some stuff, too).
4. First walk across the Golden Gate Bridge - It was quite foggy, and chilly! Joe and I had to buy some sweatshirts at the gift shop.
5. First drive down Lombard Street.
6. First visit to the Sea Lions on Fisherman's Wharf - This is consistently my favorite place to go in all of San Francisco :).
7. First visit to Ripley's Believe it or Not! - That was my second time there, and I still had a lot of fun.
8. First drive up highway 1 - We took 280, to 92, to highway 1. 92 was really really slow due to traffic, but highway 1 was beautiful as usual.
9. First visit to Baker Beach - Ask Joe what he saw there for the first time!
10. We also saw San Francisco Bay, lots of panhandlers, and some drunk guy crooned out America the Beautiful directly to us and us only.

Now for some pictures!

Joe also has some great video. Ask him to show it to you sometime!

Who's visiting next?
