Corpus Christi Adventures

After visiting San Antonio we drove down to Corpus Christi and stayed for a few days. The first day we didn't do much and were a tad lazy, though we did go to one of my favorite books stores and ended up bringing a suitcase full of books home with us.

One of the first days there we went to visit the USS Lexington, which we both enjoyed! 

 We saw this little sea turtle when we walked out on the pier!

 This was his first time at the beach. It was so fun.

We were able to see the last turtle release of the season one morning. Little sea turtles are so cute!

We also were able to visit the Aquarium which was way cool because my aunt's neighbor works there and we got to go behind the scenes! I don't have any pictures of this but it was neat to see how they do things behind those huge fish tanks. We go to look down into one of the tanks with the sharks swimming and fish and turtles. Also got to see baby stingrays, alligators, fish, seahorses, and sharks!

Eating good food was a top priority and we ate fresh shrimp, crab, and sushi!

We spent another day at the beach and ran through the water, but I didn't take my camera because I've ruined one camera at the beach before. 

Sorry there aren't more pictures but these give you the general idea.

San Antonio Adventures

Our latest adventure took us to San Antonio, Texas where we stayed for two days after flying into the city. I have been there a few times before but Chance hadn't so it was all the more fun to be with someone seeing everything for the first time. The main thing that we wanted to do was see the Alamo and the Riverwalk which are right next to each other downtown.

We ended up meeting my Aunt and her husband and staying on the 12th floor of a hotel not too far from downtown. We were able to walk to everything which was good because driving there is rather hectic and no parking.

 This was a church we ran into on one of our walks that supposedly has buried many people who died at the Alamo. It is rather difficult to know who these people are considering the circumstances surrounding their death, that is why it is unsure. The church is beautiful. 

The Alamo is unique though my favorite part is the grounds around the building itself. The Riverwalk is also a neat place to walk along though it was crowded it was still nice.

We also discovered that there are multiple missions in San Antonio that are more authentic than what is left of the Alamo. These were a grand discovery!

We also ate delicious Mexican and BBQ food while in San Antonio!


Needless to say we were very busy for those two days we stayed in the city and were ready to head to Corpus Christi and the beach.
