Corpus Christi / Port Aransas Must See & Do

Do a Google search for `______ tourism' and put the city or area in the blank space and read what the specialists recommend.

Fortunately, most spring break vacations will be over by the end of March.
Must sees?
Corpus Christi and Port Aransas are like night and day differences.
Big city vs laid back seashore.
Corpus Christi- USS Lexington Aircraft Carrier, Aquarium (we just spent a day in Corpus Christi, so these are the two things we did.)

Port Aransas - just lay back and relax. Visit the many bird sanctuaries, read a book on the beach, travel to Padre Island National Seashore. Port Aransas is really just a little town. Lots of interesting little places to eat and shop, most of them local and not chains.

I'm sure that regular travelers to the area can give you much more. But we were just winter-weary Northern Minnesotans who desperately wanted warmth in late February/early March and we just wanted to relax. So we went mostly to take it easy and have the ice melt off of our bodies! :) Enjoy - it is a great place.

1. Padre Island National Seashore for the beach
2. Fish in the Laguna Madre (hire a guide)
3. Birdwatching in Port Aransas and lots of other places
4. Visit the Texas State Aquarium
5. Tour World War II Aircraft Carrier "Lexington"
6. Enjoy the many Mexican restaurants in the area

Let me know if you have any special requests. That CC in my name is for Corpus Christi.

Sorry I have nothing to offer, but I will be watching because I plan on being there after Christmas if the weather is good.
