Selena & The USS Lexington

We visited the Selena Memorial.  We had passed by this memorial several times but never made time to stop.  It is a very nice memorial to such a super Tejano singer, whose life was cut so short.  She was only 25 when she was killed by the president of her fan club.....such a shame.  Her songs still play by Tejano radio stations.

      

      

      

Granite bricks pay tribute to her.  This one is her parents'.  What a terrible loss.

We head further south on Shoreline Blvd and see that the Memorial Coliseum which held many many events has been demolished.  This is all that is left of it now.

 

We drive by the American Bank Center....really nice area.

The last time we were here was when Oscar got his Masters Degree last December.  As sure miss Oscar.  Missed him at the Family Reunion last week.

The old Nueces Courthouse....the city can not decide what to do with this beautiful old building.

Then we drive by the USS Lexington Naval Ship.   We saw a replica of it while we were at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, FL. last February.

We will have to come back to tour this beautiful Naval Ship one day.

 

The Gulf Coast.

There will be more pics of our day in Corpus.....

A Day In Corpus Christi

The girls are all ready for our trip to Corpus.  They color while I get things ready.

We are driving to Corpus and looks like little Arianna is already sleepy.  We are going to take Arianna so Cousin Beatrice can pick her up after work.   She will drive her to Brownsville over the weekend.  

The Beaches on our way to Corpus....

A view of Corpus Christi.

Multiple refineries in the Corpus area, this is one of  them.

Driving on Ocean Drive.

We walk the ocean walk....it is beautiful here.

 

 

We found a dead crab on the sand....

A beautiful Church on Ocean Drive....         Beautiful Statue of Jesus in front of the Church.

      

More pics to come....I have a lot of them.

Manuel Jr. Pays Us A Visit

This morning, we slept late again.  After breakfast, we headed out for a ride around town.  We went looking at other RV Parks in the area.

 

Manuel Jr. came over early in the afternoon and we headed to the pool for some fun.

The girls were really excited to see Dad....

Arianna learned to swim backwards...or backstroke.

Arianna explains to grandpa that her goggles have broken three times!

After we had dinner, Manuel gets ready to head back home.....

Good Bye, Dad!

This is what we caught of the sunset....I always think of Oscar when I see beautiful sunsets!

Love and miss you, Oscar.

We had a fun day.   Arianna will leave tomorrow.  We will drive her to Corpus Christi and Bea, my niece will take her home on the weekend.  We have had such fun with her and the girls have loved their time with her.  Since she lives in Brownsville, we see her about once a year.   Maybe we can see her again next summer.
