I have traveled to the city of Corpus Christi, Texas many times during my lifetime. My most recent visit was during this past summer. I have to admit that I love this city. My family and I were pleased with the many attractions and events that we were able to see and do. Here is a brief rundown of what a family can do in the city.

The biggest draw for the city, of course has to be the coast line and the beautiful beaches. The beaches were clean and not overpopulated. There were plenty of local tourist shops near by the beaches offering rental services. The prices overall are reasonable. This was a nice break from the regular beach going experience that I and my family have experienced elsewhere. After spending some time at the beach we decided to take the children to the local State Aquarium. The wide range of marine wildlife was fascinating and very educational. The children absolutely loved the experience of petting a dolphin. Once we left the State Aquarium we went to have a bite to eat. Corpus Christi boasts of many fine seafood and Mexican restaurants. We decided to end our day trip with a visit to the impressive air craft carrier museum. This fully fledged decommissioned air craft carrier is simply amazing. Plan to spend at least 4-5 hours to explore this massive boat structure. The children loved having their picture taken with the various machinery and airplanes. We were so pleases with our experience that we decided to go shopping afterward to secure a nice memento of our trip. The shopping was nice and pleasant and not overly crowded. We found the prices to be about average.

In conclusion, if anyone is interested in having a great family time full of amazing things to see and do, I whole heartedly recommend Corpus Christi, Texas for that purpose.

I traveled to Corpus Christi, Texas for a week in January 2009 on business. I had the opportunity to work with the city's local university, Texas A&M - Corpus Christi, which really gave me the chance to meet both people who had grown up in Corpus and people who were attending school there. The attitude seemed the same from both sides: they all love living there!

I had just traveled from Columbus, Ohio and couldn't believe what great weather they were having in Corpus Christi. I soon discovered that this type of weather is common, and, in fact, the 65 degree weather was somewhat cool for the residents.

As the city lies along the bay, it is a great beach town, and I could definitely feel the relaxation everywhere I went. Residents and travelers alike spent their days surfing, sailing, and tanning on the beach. The USS Lexington Museum is located on the ship itself, just along the bay, so tourists can board a World War II ship and spend a few moments in history. These activities, along with the delicious chance to sample some of Corpus Christi's seafood restaurants, made this trip to Texas truly relaxing and memorable!
