Actually it was still cool in Port Aransas. We just spent the day catching up with things. Ran some errands and the end of the day we found ourselves behind an Air Boat being pulled down the causeway. Sunsets are always a great thing to catch.

Doogie making sure snacks Dad is eating are ok.

Wednesday brought more cool windy weather. Loaded with fishing rods, dogs and everything for a successful day of fishing we decided to drive all the way to Fish Pass which as far as you can go on the beach.  Checked with guys, they were just getting started.

Wednesday is all you can eat shrimp at Kody’s which is a walkable distance from the RV park. We went with John and Julie from Canada near Ottawa. When we get there we find many more from the park. Tom and Edy sat with us. He’s funny doesn’t hear well so Edy tells him everything that is said.

The day was going to be a gloomy day, so we headed into Corpus Christi to see the aircraft carrier USS Lexington. Her nickname is the “Blue Ghost”. The Japanese gave her this nickname. She had the tendency to reappear after being reportedly sunk.The aircraft carrier was launched on September 23, 1942. Extensive service in the Pacific War during World War II. Her history is fascinating. Going on to be a training ship and eventually decommissioned in 1991 and donated to Corpus Christi for a museum.

Jim in the Captains seat. On the flight deck is the gentleman named Ed. He volunteers on the Lexington. A retired pilot. I asked if he had landed on the Lexington. A big smile came across his face. He pointed to his hat and said you get those gold wings when you fly onto an aircraft carrier.

Some more shots around the ship. It’s really big!

It is amazing all the wonders you may have are answered there. From doctors, dentist, barbers. To where do they sleep,eat and even worship.

We went to the Christmas party for the RV Park. They have a Chinese gift exchange. Jim with his happy face. Brandon and Victoria own the park. Love their sweaters! It was a fun evening.

Christmas Eve finds us on a fishing boat again. This time we are going with Julie and John. They have the Red Dragon pirate ship that is really cool for kids. The pirate in the top photo is helping the boy get his eye patch on right so he will look like the scallywag that he is. More freighters and boats, oh my.

Pretty good trip, we moved all around the bay. John caught the most fish,8. I caught 1 and Jim caught 2. Julie, she just drown her bait.

Merry Christmas everyone!🎄 This was a great way to spend the day. Doogie was intent on burying his Christmas chew bone. We spent the evening with a small group from the Park. Unfortunately I did not get any photos. It was a great Christmas. Touched base with family and friends. Tomorrow we head to Huntsville State Park for New Years with friends.🎉
