Our first stop is USS Lexington Museum.
Commissioned in 1943, this was the oldest working carrier in the United States Navy.
Right now we're in Corpus Christi!
Decommissioned in 1991, the USS Lexington was open to the public the following year as a naval aviation museum
Today we'll be going on a self-guided tour.
There are many exhibits and interactive displays aboard the ship.
We're playing with the carrier landings flight simulator.
You sunk my battleship!
We're going to get a great view of the ocean.
You can see the Gulf of Mexico right there.
First, we're going to explore the foc'sle, a forward upper deck area that extends to the bow.
Let's check out Knot Thinking, a section that showcases different types of knots.
This stateroom has been recreated to look like those used in 1975.
Now we're learning about the attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II.
The USS, Lexington participated in nearly every major operation in the Pacific Theater and spent a total of 21 months in combat.
The Japanese reported Lexington sunk no less than four times,
Yet each time she returned to fight again earning her the nickname "The Blue Ghost."
The inscription here is dedicated to those who died on the Arizona, December 7th, 1941.
We're going down to the next level to see more displays.
Look how high this flight of stairs is.
These are famous people who have visited the USS Lexington.
There's George W Bush and George HW Bush.

Ah!
Those seats were comfy.

I'm going to peep into to the porthole.
This is the air traffic control center.
Now we're going to get a haircut.
Many models are displayed in this room.
Let me try to open these lockers.
This is the machine shop where they repair machinery.
Next is the cafeteria.
That looks like very bad corn and ham. And chicken
And broccoli.
We also saw an exhibit of an old-time naval ship.
Now we're going on tour number four, the lower decks.
Let's go down to the engine room.
This place is like a maze.
We're heading back upstairs.
Next we're going to watch a 3D movie.
It's time to visit the flight deck.
The flight deck spans 120,000 square feet and displays many vintage aircrafts.
Now we're going to walk the plank.
This is where they house the caliber gun.
Lastly, we're going to visit the navigation bridge.
We had so much fun at the USS, Lexington.
It's time to check into our hotel, Embassy Suites.
This casual all suite hotel is located nine miles from Corpus Christi Beach.
We're sitting in the middle of the entire hotel, and you can see all the rooms.
All around.
We're having a light afternoon snack, which has
Goldfish, Chex Mix, broccoli. There's tomatoes, carrots.
Chips and salsa.
And Goldfish.
We're going to the second floor.
I'm going to give you a tour of our room.
Hey!
There is the living room with couches.
These things open.
They do.
You can, uh...
hide things here.
Thank you for another Goldfish.
Here's a flat-screen TV. A visitor's guide.
Here is the lovely table that seats three. You can use this for dining since there's the kitchen there.
Or, to do paperwork and office stuff
And here's the microwave.
A coffee maker, a kitchen sink.
A mini fridge.
And here is the bedroom. There are two queen size beds.
With four pillows on each one. Extra comfort.
Another phone. Another flat-screen TV.
An iron, and a safe.
This is the safe. That's the microwave. Sometimes a safe looks like a microwave, and I get them mixed up.
Over here is the sink. There's tissues.
Shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, bath soap, and soap.
Finally there's the bathroom.
Hahahahaaha.
And now I'm going to give you a tour of the bathroom.

Bye bye!
Too bad we didn't bring our swimsuits because I really want to relax in the indoor pool.
After dinner, because right now we're eating dinner.
It's time to get something to eat at Harrison's Landing.
This restaurant features waterfront dining, tropical drinks, scenic views, and charming shopping.

My dad got the crab encrusted flounder.
It comes with rice and asparagus.
and Brother is having fish and chips. And today's special is that it's all-you-can-eat.
The pesto shrimp pasta comes with bits of asparagus and tomatoes inside.
It's all throughout.
And the shrimps look like this.
They're a good size. This is the pasta. With my favorite, pesto.
So the pasta is..
very pesto-y.
It doesn't disappoint me because it is just full of pesto flavor.
And the shrimp...
I like the amount of shrimp that they give you.
It's very plentiful throughout.
The fish and chips are very crunchy and tender.
I do give it a...
