Another day trip! The furthest town only 37-40 minutes from where we are staying. We ventured to George West, and Beeville. Although on the drive in to our camp site we skirted the edge of Beeville we wanted to return for a better look around. We also took a different day trip to Corpus Christi, only about 40 minutes again from the state park.

Beeville is a National Main Street City. Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor of Mount Rushmore, and son Lincoln, took up residence in the city during the time Rushmore was being sculpted.
Corpus Christi, TX - -
One afternoon separate from our small town day trip we ventured down to Corpus Christi. We wanted to see the beach in that area, the bigger city, and the USS Lexington. We didn't go on the USS Lexington tour- definitely would like to another time but were happy we got to see it in person and view the displays out front.
More fun family times exploring, sight seeing and venturing to new places.
