Beach Trip 2009... Corpus Christi

Beach Trip 2009 was in Corpus Christi this year! The past few years we have gone to Galveston, and I thought this year we could venture somewhere we had never gone before. We got to Corpus around 11am on Friday, and we venture to the Texas State Aquarium. I would give it a 2 on a scale of 1 to 10. I was highly dissatisfied, and for $61 bucks for us to go, I almost wanted to ask for a refund! After the aquarium we decided to check in to our hotel and enjoyed the private beach right outside the back doors! It was a nice little beach, we rented a umbrella and sat out there for a few hours. Saturday morning we woke up and at at IHOP. Wow, that was interesting in itself and after breakfast we headed to MUSTANG ISLAND. It was a very nice beach. I was upset that there were no seashells, and I mean NO seashells. There were tons of little clamshells, it was neat to play with those on the beach. We stopped at a local resturant and walked through some local souvenier shops. We were able to cross the little ferry to cross over to Port Aransas and drive back to our hotel. We were all completely sunburned! The sun and heat is not forgiving no matter how much sunblock you put on!! We headed home the next day! It was a great trip, I wish we could have stayed a day or two longer, but till next year!!!
