Sunny Day in Corpus Christi



About 30 miles South of our campground is the deep water port of Corpus Christi, the popular seacoast playground. The 2.5 Seawall, with steps to the water of Corpus Christi Bay, with it's T-shaped docks heads,  is popular for walkers, bikers and boaters. Over 100 miles of beach including nearby Padre and Mustang Islands, make the area popular for sun seekers year round. 

USS Lexington and Texas State Aquarium

Heritage Park, 12 restored Victorian homes

Replicas of Colombus' Pinta & Santa Maria
We went hoping to board one of the harbor cruises, but they aren't in operation till March or April. So we visited other sights and drove along the Shoreline Boulevard on the south shore, awestruck by the beauty of the expansive homes, to the campus of Texas A&M University. At the end of the boulevard is the Navy's advanced air training school and Army helicopter repair facilities.

Last evening we enjoyed a potluck fish fry at the rec hall with new friends and neighbors, and Thursday there's a Valentine Dance! I've read 2 books and have a massage scheduled.....ah, this is good!
