The weather this Sunday morning was not too promising. It was cool and windy and certainly not a beach day. We decided to tour the USS Lexington Aircraft Carrier which is retired in Corpus Christie. This ship is vintage WWII and really was interesting. I realize that this is a small carrier when compared to the newest ones, but it's history is fascinating. They have preserved it like a museum with all kinds of pictures, histories and even a movie theater. The movie was "Magic of Flight", which gave a brief history of man's endeavor to learn to fly and it's relationship with the aircraft carriers. A person could get lost in all of the corridors and levels. We got our exercise for sure. When the tour was over, the weather had changed to a beautiful day. Perhaps tomorrow we get to go to the beach at Padre Island.
