Yep. I arrived about Noon. Left about 8 pm. I went to observe, so I did.
The Corpus Christi trip is tentatively set for early November. The main purpose for it, other than to visit Corpus Christi, is to tour the USS Lexington that is docked there as a museum. So I will have less time to tour around the city itself.
The Big Bend trip is tentatively set for late April.
