We just got back from Corpus Christi, TX. Stayed on the beach at the Radisson. Pretty awesome views. Water was still warm, but it certainly wasnt Pensacola, FL-quality.

This was sunrise today

USS Lexington
Welcome Aboard The USS LEXINGTON Museum On The Bay (http://www.usslexington.com/)

Would I do it again? Hell yeah. The hotel was awesome, and was in walking distance to 1 bar and 3 restaurants. The Lex and Aquarium each cost $30, but for the hours and hours spent there, worth it. Did I see the real CIWS, or a ship's CIWS, no :( All that was left was some 5inch guns :D


All pics compressed from their 3MB, 7.2MP size for your protection :D
Click thumbs for screen-size pics, then click that pic for FULL size.

Pretty cool pics urbi. :)

Although the Lex may have seemed pretty big, you might be suprised how much bigger the latest carriers like the Lincoln are :D

Did you happen to see the ghost down below?
