We took on our last major excursion with Andy, Mary Lynn, AJ and Matt to Corpus Christi. This is a sea port on the Gulf of Mexico about two hours drive from San Antonio. Corpus Christi is heavily industrialised with oil refineries all round it. However it does have an attractive sea front with hotels, restaurants, a marina and a beach. The main tourist attractions are the US Navy aircraft carrier Lexington and Sea World.
On arrival we had lunch at a sea front fish restaurant Pier 99. The food was excellent particularly the fish.
We spent the afternoon exploring the Lexington and walking the beach. We got to paddle in the Gulf of Mexico – water lovely and warm.
Before leaving for home we had tea in the Omni hotel.
