We headed south to Corpus Christi for a few days in July to enjoy the beach and relax. We started out at Mustang Island State Park and enjoyed the sea breeze and the water. The next day we headed to the Texas State Aquarium and the USS Lexington. We had a great time and enjoyed the cool temperatures in the low 90s. We went fishing on a charter boat about 12 miles out in the gulf, but didn't catch anything. We were with about 30 other fishermen and didn't catch anything. We ended up fishing at the National Seashore on Padre Island and enjoyed playing in the surf. It a nice break with great weather. We went shopping on the way down and got a new power washer to play with when we got home. We bought clothes and shoes and some kitchen gadgets at the outlets in San Marcos. This was our summer vacation this year since Greerson spent most of his vacation time at Boy Scout camps (Philmont and Northern Tier). Christa wanted a staycation this year so Corpus was the compromise we came up with. Most people have a staycation at home, we do it within the state of Texas!
