The rain didn't stop the first family from enjoying their trip to Havana. Over the weekend, President Barack Obama became the first US president to visit Cuba in almost 90 years — the last one to make such a trip was Calvin Coolidge in 1928. Throughout the two-day visit, Obama met with President Raul Castro to discuss improved US-Cuban relations, including travel, trade, the release of political prisoners, and the possible closure of Guantánamo Bay. Of course, they also made time for fun with a baseball game. Ahead, check out photos of the historic visit.
