Tell me what I'm doing wrong here or what else we might want to do. We are taking a quick weekend trip with elementary school age kids.

I was told to hotel in Port A so that we are at a nicer beach. We will head to Corpus for a visit to the Aquarium, Aircradft Carrier, and a Hooks game. My son also wants to take in the fine dining at the Whataburger by the Sea.

I love Port A, but will all of those activities in CC, just stay at the Gulfstream Condos by the new channel they just cut in on Padre Island(or whatever it is called)just outside of CC. There is also a Holiday Inn there. Stayed at Gulfstream this past weekend, they have a nice pool and hot tub and it is right on the water. In fact the water this past weekend was the best I have seen in probably 25+ years of going down there.

One thing that you might want to do is the old fashioned entertainment of flying a kite. A couple of weeks ago we made kites with a group of kids and let them fly them on the beach, and they went wild. They couldn't get enough flying time. It was great and totally reminded me of my childhood!
