The family and I are thinking about coming down and vacationing in the Rockport - Fulton area.

Any ideas help (good and bad) are greatly appreciated!

We sometimes meet up with other ARFCOMMER's and if anyone wants to do that we will try and fit it in.

My daughter (after prodding from my wife) calls my ARFCOMMER's "Dad's Imaginary friends!"

Thanks in advance and afterwards also.

I went down there for a little vacation in  2011, and I loved it.  Close enough to Corpus Christi to drive into the city a few days for day trips (like the Carrier museum, which was awesome), but still a small town feel on the other side of the bridge. Another vacation to the area is one of the things I look forward to about getting back to Texas.  All in all not much help though.

Lived there for 6 years and go 2-3 times a month for the weekend.   Drop me a line and I can give you the inside scoop.

Corpus has the Lexington aircraft carrier plenty to see there.  Also, the Texas State aquarium.    Rockport is more of a fishing/rich tourist town.  Good fishing there.  Port A has the jetties which are usually good fishing.

We did Corpus a few years ago and the family has said no more War Ships/Forts/Battlefields etc. so those are off the list.
We saw the Lady Lex then and the USS 'Bama on the next trip we took.
