Today we went to the USS Lexington and I learned that I could NEVER live on an aircraft carrier or any other big ship for that matter. It is too stinky, too big, and has too many steep stairs. Not to mention the quarters are tight. I have a whole new appreciation for those that have and do serve our country on one of these.
Emory and Cason posed in front of the USS Lexington before we walked the mile to it. Emory is sporting her new boots. Cason got a new pair too (they are blue).
That is one big boat!
This plane is at the entrance.
Emory taking a break and giving me sass. It was hot and there were a lot of steep stairs. She said she was worn out when we left.
Some of the planes on the flight deck which is huge.
Cason checking out all the model airplanes.
Another view from the flight deck.
My sweet Cason!
A view of the Texas State Aquarium and the "big bridge" from the flight deck. The Corpus Christi Port is on the other side of the bridge.

Our hotel is on the left (the square one in front of the tall building).
Where's Cason?
Maybe these can put into perspective just how big this ship is.
It is massive and has everything. Basically it is a floating town with a dentist, doctor's office, hospital, and even a post office. Emory of course had to tinkle while on board, but now she can say she used the head on an aircraft carrier!
