No beach for us today. Its been raining all night and no let up in sight so our little caravan left this morning about 10am and drove to Corpus Christi to see the USS Lexington. I was only mildly surprised to read that to fuel the Lex it took 1.5 million gallons. But the fuel mileage was .0025mpg. Won't complain about our truck for awhile:) (1 mile on 400 gallons) Besides Greg drove today so I got great mileage :)
Susy and I took in an early movie they were showing so Greg and Judy roamed the ship by themselves until we finally met up on the flight deck a few hours later.
Many of the aircraft on the deck are modern, I have fond memories of the
Cobra helicopter gunship.

Greg and I took a simulator flight and got to fight the forces of EVIL. Hey we did ok - we came back alive!!
On the return trip Greg treated us to downtown Corpus Christi and along the waterfront. Then out to Mustang Island and then we rode the free ferry back to Aransas Pass.
We ate in Rockport at a little Mexican restaurant then settled in for the Obama/McCain debate.
What to believe???
