And now... the rest of the story....

Unfortunetly the weather was warm but not sunny in this picture. It did come out about a few hours after that, Of Course.
This was the entrance to the Texas State Aquarium. I haven't seen a adult flounder before that was the coolest thing. It has both of its eyes on the top of its body and it is flat to the ocean floor. I have seen flounder in the Movie "Nemo" but never the real thing.
We saw some really interesting jellyfish and some rehab birds that they can't let go back into the wild for one reason or another. You were able to touch stingrays and they had a dolphin show. At one point they had a diver in a tank to clean it and a little girl behind us said to her mom "Are they going to get Nemo, Mommy?". How cute is that!

This is "The Bay Bridge' that connects Corpus to Portland Texas. It als connects the USS Lexington and The Texas State Aquarium to Corpus.This picture was taken from the USS Lexington that was used by the military for 50 years before they retired it to Corpus. Duner was amazed at how many people used the dental office they said it was the busiest place on the ship. They saw 35 people per day.





Here is Duners chin and what we think were oil refineries that were frequently spotted in Corpus. Our hotel was next to a couple of them and lost power on Sunday Night. We were bummed since that is when Grey's Anatomy is on TV and we couldn't even watch it. Luckily the power came on 30mins later so we were able to see 30 minutes of it. This was also the warmest day of the trip. Don't let the picture fool you. It was over 80 and very muggy.

Monday Morning was when we saw the Aquarium and Lexington. At noon we had meet with the guys for registration. I left Duner at the Alley and went back to the hotel to rest my blisters from the sandles I am not used to wearing. I figured I would go and see if I could find the Arbys that we could see the billboards for all over corpus. I found it in the shopping district along with Wal mart, Home Depot and JC Pennys.

That night all the guys signed up for next years tournament in Reno, NV. Duner will be going there by himself.
We then went to a food/bar place called Crawdaddy's. Believe it or not they actually did not have any crawdads. They ran out. I had Gumbo and cajun chicken. It was ok. everything had a fish taste to it. I like fish but not that much.
The best part of that night was the Karaoke. We have quiet the characters in our bowling group. We had about 5 of the group of 20 people that went up to sing. 3 were frequent back up dancers and 1 got over 5 bucks for taking his shirt off. My face hurt from laughing so hard.
But we had to leave by 11pm since Duner had to bowl at 7am the next day.
After the early am bowling 8 of us went golfing while some left for home and some others did their own versions of entertainment.
By 9pm we were back in San Antonio at the hotel, we wanted to check out the Riverwalk at night so we quickly scooted downtown and saw a horse drawn wagon pulling some people. It looked like they were giving rides. We didn't stay long, we did have a refreshment at Coyote Ugly's. I didn't dare order water since I saw the movie and I know what happens when you ask for water. I just had cranberry Juice. I know, call me original.
