Day Tripping to Corpus Christi

Usually when we come to Port A it is for 2-3 days max and I want to spend as much time as possible at the beach.  But this time, we will end up being here for 2 full weeks. So we have decided to check out a few other things.  We took a few day trips into Corpus Christi.  First we went to the USS Lexington and the Texas State Aquarium on Tuesday.  Both of these places are definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. Here are a few pictures from those two sites.

Dolphin show was great fun!







On Wednesday we went to Padre Island National Seashore to picnic, enjoy the sun and beach. It was not very crowded, there were covered picnic tables and we got to use our America The Beautiful National Parks Pass for the first time.  But alas, no shells.

Thursday night we rooted for the Corpus Christi Hooks minor league baseball team as they took on the Frisco Roughriders. But sadly they lost.  However it was a beautiful night to watch baseball and we had a great time.
Now we wait...for Lauren to arrive and spend a few days enjoying the beach with us.
