This week started out very quiet and ended with a trip into Corpus Christi.
The weather this week was…ahem…not great. However, it was still better than in most of the country, so I’ll try not to complain too much. The wind was constant and gusting over 40 mph. It was cold and rainy. It wasn’t exactly what we were expecting. But, since Nathan was still clawing his way back from the land of the sick, it was ok to stay inside and stay warm. We enjoyed talking to various family members by phone and on FaceTime. We also made some good progress in our planning for future travels this year.
By the end of the week, Nathan was feeling a lot better, so we planned an outing. We drove into downtown Corpus Christi to check it out. The USS Lexington is a World War II era aircraft carrier that is anchored in Corpus Christi and they have created an excellent museum on board. We spent the afternoon checking out the displays, wandering through the maze-like passageways below deck, and watching their movie presentation. It was really good. We walked along the water, checking out the marina and the beach. Then we tracked down some yummy sushi for dinner and attended a comedy show in a tiny comedy club at a pizza joint. The comedy was ok, but there was a magician/comedian that was quiet good. We had fun learning a bit more about the history of this place that we just happened to land in.
The weather today was much improved and we loved getting out for a brisk beach walk. We would love to do a Q & A next week, so comment below with your burning questions!
Have a great week!
Scene Change
After a whole month in alpine bliss, we packed things up and moved out of the canyon. We spent a busy weekend working on some projects at Margaret’s place in Centerville and having one more super fun Mueller family dinner. Then we filled the car with a few things and drove north and west for a change of scenery.
Movin’ Right Along
All good things (and bad things, I will add) come to an end. We thoroughly enjoyed our month at Solitude in Big Cottonwood Canyon, but we are moving on to the next adventure. We have moved back to Centerville for a few days to regroup and repack and then we are hitting the road!
Just a Little One
Hello! We are still enjoying our time in the beautiful mountains of Utah.
I love a Q & A! I have so many questions…let’s see…is it still fun to be traveling around? 😊 I’m guessing it is, but I’m also curious how your stamina is. Like, do you feel “museumed out” or “sightseeing weary” or is it still interesting to learn about about each new place? Are these places in America boring compared to your time in Europe? Do you think you’ll land more permanently somewhere? You don’t have to answer any of these!! I love reading along.
