While in the Coastal Bend area of Texas, we made a few visits to Corpus Christi, the nearest large city to the four places we stayed (Mustang Island State Park, Port Aransas, Goose Island State Park, and Rockport/Fulton). The visits were for buying things that can only be found in a larger city and for seeing the sights of the city itself. As cities go, Corpus Christi was fairly interesting.
