We arrived in Corpus Christi on Monday to temperatures in the mid 80s. FANTASTIC!! After all, Corpus Christi is all about the beach and the water and enjoying the warm Gulf outdoors. Well that worked well until Wednesday night. Just before bed, the winds picked up (and I mean picked up!) and the rain came. And with that the temperatures plummeted 30 degrees. Not so bad except that the temperature has stayed there, the wind has not gone away and there has been rain off and on ever since. Needless to say, we've not been able to do many of the things we had planned for this area.Corpus Christi is the home of the USS Lexington museum. Having never been on an aircraft carrier we braved the weather on Friday and toured the ship. Amazing!
and the Navy finally caught up with Jim, more than 38 years after he joined!
We ventured out to the stores on Friday, after the Thanksgiving Day holiday, to take in the full American shopping experience (although we did not get out of bed at 3:00 am to be there when the doors opened at 4:00 am). The crowds were unreal - and the line-ups!! There were great bargains to be had but......
Well, it's off to South Padre Island tomorrow. Hopefully the weather will be more conducive to beach-type activities.
Oh yeah - GO BOMBERS!!!
