We got to our destination, Corpus Christi, Texas.

On the way, we saw two crop dusting airplanes. They were working their crops. When we were driving we saw that there were miles, and miles of land with nothing. Only short trees. And it was very very flat. You could see nothing for miles!






We are staying on an island and to get here we got to take a ferry. We drove our camper on the boat and it took us to the island. It was much better than a bridge! (The picture to the right shows us looking out the truck window while crossing the water on the ferry.)

When we got to our campground (Pioneer Village, in Port Aransas), we took a walk on the beach. And played a little in the Ocean. Then we went to a country dance at the campground. My sister loved it but I didn't. Then we went to bed.

Once we woke up, we ate breakfast and met the guy my Dad is buying some neon supplies from. He had a cool dog. He took us to lunch at a real Tex-Mex restaurant.












Then we went to the USS Lexington, which is a aircraft carrier. It was from World War II. It was nicknamed the "Blue Ghost" because it was the only one painted blue-grey and several times it was hit but not sunk. The Japaneese reported many times that the Blue Ghost sunk, but it did not. It was huge. They had lots of exhibits that let you pretend to drive the plane or pretend to be a tail gunner. We saw what the navy jails looked like. We saw a movie about fighter pilots in training.













Then we went home, and played in the Gulf of Mexico. It was a great experience for me. We played until the moon came up. We found a dead puffer fish. It was cool.


Then we went back to the camper, took a shower, and wrote this blog.

I am going to bed now. BRAYDON
