What was originally suppose to be a spring break trip for the family ended up being a trip for just me and my son Josh and his girlfriend. Daughters had too much to do for school and athletics. Other son had to work. Wife had the flu. So we went and spent 4 days on the beach. Ate way too much, saw some dolphins and did some bike riding along the beach.
Lets start off with the house we stayed in. It was a nice little cottage with 3 bedrooms that was only a couple of blocks away from the seawall and beach. It had a deck on the back that prior to them building a hotel would have had a clear view of the ocean.
It was way more house than we needed for just the three of us, but recall our original plan when we booked it was for the whole family to go on the trip. Here are some pictures of what the inside looked like.
Here we walked down to the seawall immediately after arriving so the kids could see the ocean. You can see the boardwalk lit up behind them.
First day there we rented one of these for all three of us to ride
along the seawall. It was interesting having all three people pedaling
in rhythm. We rented all the bikes we used from Island Bicycle Company(http://www.islandbicyclecompany.com/) We had rented from them on a previous trip and found them to be reasonably priced and very helpful. 
Famous Galveston Boardwalk we saw all lit up the night before.
After spending the day riding and walking along the seawall we chose to go to the other side of the island and have seafood at the Fisherman's Wharf.
Cool view of the bay from our seat in the restaurant.
Pondering what to order!
I had the shrimp combo and it was scrumptious!
The kids shared a Mixed seafood grill!
Started out passing the Fisherman's Wharf restaurant from the bay side!
We saw lots of birds fishing in the bay!
Watching anxiously for some Dolphins!
Our captain who knew right where the Dolphins would be. We also got a history lesson on Galveston Bay.
There be Dolphins!
For the afternoon the kids wanted to go explore by themselves so I rented a bike to ride along the seawall.
Was looking for items for that month Bicycle Ride and Seek, needed a picture with a Red building as I recall.
Another Ride and Seek find along the Seawall. Something Gold!
Condo at the end of the Seawall
The far western end of Seawall! This combined with a previous visit to Galveston finished up riding the entire seawall.
Met up with the kids for dinner at Miller's Seawall Grill!(http://millersseawallgrill.com/) We ate there both times we have been to the Island and very much enjoyed the food each time!
The Seawall Special! Yum!
The final day we were there we woke up to rain and fog again so we decided to head back early. On our way thru Dallas it was necessity to stop and eat here!
Had to have the Double! Yum!
