First Family Vacation--The Other Stuff

Even though the mosquitos were gargantuan, and Galveston's beach left a little something to be desired, the town itself was lovely.  We went swimming, played miniature golf, ate delicious fresh seafood, snuggled on the couch and pretty much just had an awesome time.  Evidence below:

Ryan and his boys on Father's Day.

The IMAX glasses were a bit too big.
