Because we were so far south and so close to the beach, we decided to drive the couple of hours it takes to get to Corpus Christi and see the beach on the Texas coast. I’ve seen the coast in Gulf Shores, AL and in Puerto Rico. Kelly has previously seen the coast in San Diego, CA and in Destin, FL.
The temperature was in the 80′s the afternoon we went there but the wind was blowing HARD. (I’m pretty sure you can tell that in this photo of me standing in the Gulf of Mexico in Corpus Christi, TX.)
We got into town long enough to drive the coast for a bit, dip our feet in the oceans, (pose for photos), and then eat a WONDERFUL meal at Landry’s Seafood House on the pier.
The USS Lexington is permanently docked in the Corpus Christi Bay. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to tour it but I did get a couple of photos of it from across the bay.
If I’m ever down in this area again, I want to drive on to Padre Island. The flat tire we had to deal with Friday & into Saturday set us back going to the zoo and then to Corpus Christi so we didn’t have enough time to tour the USS Lexington or drive further down the coast to Padre Island and Port Aransas (and, no, I did not mean to spell Arkansas).
