Anniversary Trip: Part I

I haven't really had the chance yet to post about our anniversary trip...which was wonderful!  We had such a great time.  It was so nice to be away from home, together...

We weren't gone long, but it was a great trip anyway.  Shawn got to see the ocean, even if it was just the Gulf of Mexico.  He certainly enjoyed himself!  So here's the story of our trip.

We left on our anniversary for the approximately 3-1/2 hour drive to Corpus Christi, Texas.  We'd heard some bad things from friends/coworkers of ours about the beaches in Corpus, but we were willing to give it a try anyway.  I found a good hotel deal and it was a shorter drive than going to South Padre Island.  We made pretty good time too, so that was even better than we thought.  We arrived before we could check in at the hotel, so Shawn wanted to go visit the USS Lexington in the Bay.  It is a museum on an old retired naval ship (a battle carrier kind of ship...I'm not up on the lingo!).

Once we go to our hotel, we unpacked and headed to dinner at a seafood place on the water.  It was really good.  Then back to the hotel for a walk on the beach then watched the ocean as the sun set (behind us...so we didn't really get to see it, but the oceans still looked pretty).

All in all, it was a good start to our anniversary!
