It’s not the likes of Hammond, Lake Charles, Nacogdoches, Thibodaux, Beaumont or Huntsville… not that there’s anything wrong with those great towns.
But here, there’s crystal clear blue water as far as the eye can see; million dollar mansions along the beachfront; and tons of palm trees growing every 10 yards.
I’m talking about Corpus Christi – the home city of one of two of the newest members of the SLC – Texas A&M-Corpus Christi - and the Thursday night opponent of the Lady Demons.
It took right at 7 hours to get here as we ventured out of Natchitoches at 7 a.m. Wednesday on a charter bus, but it was well worth the trip when we finally arrived in the city.
The team hotel sits right on Shoreline Blvd., just across the street from the seawall that touches the Gulf of Mexico. Along the boulevard is an abundance of attractions including the U.S.S. Lexington Museum which features the actual aircraft carrier that served during World War II. Then there’s the Texas State Aquarium, The Art Museum of South Texas, Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History… I can go on and on and on.
Trips like these are usually taken when competing in Thanksgiving or Christmas tournaments.
But thanks to the SLC for adding Corpus Christi, this trip will be second nature.
And to think, we get to visit San Antonio on Friday and Saturday.
