MARCH 28: CORPUS CHRISTI – DAY 4 (Part 1)

Our first stop in Corpus Christi was the USS Lexington, a WWII era aircraft carrier ship.  Cara and the kids enjoyed it even more than I could have imagined.  At one point I suggested we needed to leave to stay on schedule and they insisted we stay to complete the final leg of the tour.  The kids could not decide which was their favorite part of the trip so far, Johnson Space Center or the USS Lexington.

From there we headed south to the Padre Island beaches.  We took a short walk on the beach and then turned back north toward San Antonio.  Before we left Corpus Christi, we stopped at a local fast food chain, Taco Cabana.  The kids first noticed them in Houston and have been singing their version of the Taco Cabana theme song – think Copacabana by Barry Manilow, but about Mexican food.  Everyone thought it was fine for a change, but no need to go back.
