Corpus Christi by the Sea

If you have been hankering for a two day get away, this is the tour for you. Combines the King Ranch with the delicious Bar B Que with the top destination in Corpus, The USS Lexington.  Plus extra night time entertainment.  Breathe in the wonderful sea breeze and relax while we take you to the Sparkling City by the Sea.

DAY 1 - Begin your travels from the South Texas Plains through Wild Horse Desert to Kingsville and the fabled King Ranch – 835,000 acres of tamed mesquite and cactus.  Take the 12 mile loop road through the Ranch with a step on guide well versed in the history and current operations of this working ranch.  Enjoy a Texas Bar B Que at the Cesar Kleberg Camp House before visiting the Henrietta Memorial Museum. Continue to Corpus. Our hotel is just across the street from the bay.  You may just want to relax and freshen up before our night time entertainment. Overnight at the Best Western Marina in Corpus Christi. L

DAY 2 - After an included breakfast, let’s go sight seeing down Shore Line Drive that eventually leads onto Padre Island.  Look for Freddy Fender’s home with a swimming pool shaped like a guitar.   Visit the USS Lexington, the oldest remaining aircraft carrier in the world.  She was the only carrier to be painted a dark blue instead of a camouflage color. Nicknamed the Blue Ghost by the Japanese who were sure that they had sunk her on four different occasions only to find that she continued the fight.  Plenty of time to explore.  Then enjoy an included lunch before we begin our return to the Rio Grande Valley.
