Today is our 16th wedding anniversary. Last year we were traveling too. We were heading to Key West and stopped at Southern Grace Lavendar Farm. After supper with Florida family at Simpli Seefood, we had wine and a nice evening.
This year, since we are in Corpus Christi we chose something different but equally cool!
Corpus is the home of the USS Lexington, a WWII era carrier that saw service until 1991. It is also home to one of two F-14 Tomcats used in the original 1986 Top Gun
They also have an F/A-18 Hornet (painted Blue Angel) which is also the aircraft in the new Top Gun: Maverick. So cool to see!
We spend about 3 hours or so on the self guided tours. The film concerning the modern super carrier and naval operations was awesome as well.
After that, lunch at Blackbeard's on the Beach for some of the best shrimp tacos ever!
Then a nap and off to the stables. It was an hour and a half ride along Padre Island. It was a nice experience.
