USS Lexington


Our next stop in Corpus Christi was the USS Lexington Museum. We went up and down tons and tons of stairs and saw all the inner workings of the battleship. It was a really good workout with so many stairs (that with my pregnant belly I had to climb up and down like ladders) and the hot hot weather. Here are some pics....


Nick and a big gun type thing- we were waiting here for the movie about fighter pilot training to start. The movie was actually pretty cool and I loved that the theater was the only place around that had a/c!


I can't remember what this room is called but it is where the captain steers the ship and below is what I am looking out at.



I used to have a thing for the Blue Angels when they would come to Hillsboro for the airshow every year so here is Nick and one of their planes on top of the battleship


Here I am in one of the jail cells. We took one of Nick in the other one but I haven't photo shopped them together yet.

Overall it was fun to be touristy for the day! After the tour we drove to Port Aransas to find our hotel and relax on the beach. More pics to come!
