Updated: Apr 13
I LOVE Corpus Christi Texas.
We spent a day in Corpus Christi. A city on an inlet of The Gulf of Mexico.
BEAUTIFUL and so many things to see and do!
We walked the boardwalk, stayed downtown, and had dinner at a local restaurant.
Waters Street Oyster Market. Locals hang out.....so yummy!

A must see is the USS Lexington
This is a must-see when you visit Corpus Christi!
It is the world's oldest aircraft carrier turned into a naval aviation museum, Points of interest on deck are take-off and landing control stations and arresting gear, anti-aircraft gun mounts, and vintage aircraft. (my Pilot husband loved it!!)
For all you fans of Whataburger, the first one was located in on the waterfront of Corpus Christi. The first Whataburger was sold through the window of a portable building on August 8, 1950. The location for Whataburger #1 was 2609 Ayers Street, across from Del Mar College, in Corpus Christi. The price of the burger was twenty-five cents.
