Corpus Christi, Texas

We had yet to visit Corpus Christi in our years of exploring Texas, so we added it to the list for this year.  We were hoping Corpus would have some good beaches and weather, but found neither.  The locals were complaining about the amount of wind they had been experiencing and it did not let up while we were there.  Corpus is a working town where most of the recreation revolves around fishing.  We were able to visit the USS Lexington, which I enjoyed, and also a drive out to the Aransas National wildlife preserve.  We decided to cut our stay short and move up the road to Houston.
