On to the Gulf Coast. We took a nice long drive this morning from San Antonio. We planned to spend a couple days at the beach. Our book pointed out Port Aransas, which is the north end of Mustang Island. So instead of going south to Padre Island, we decided to go north. Or so we thought. We drove and drove and took the ferry across the bay to Port Aransas and looked for the hotel we had picked out. Well, I wish that pelican (above) would have told us that we were going the wrong way. Anyway, we ended up in Corpus Christie on Padre Island! So we had driven in a big circle, after having driven all the way from San Antonio. For a break, we decided to take a tour of the USS Lexington, an aircraft carrier "museum" that is sitting in the bay. It is a self guided tour, very interesting! They let you roam through the bowels of the ship. Pretty small quarters for all those Navy men and women.
While up on deck we looked on the beach and saw a row of hotels. I pointed at the Radisson and said, that is where we are staying tonight! We just didn't want to drive anymore! So we went to the hotel and talked down the price of a very nice room, beachside. We stayed 2 days.
