USS LEXINGTON
We got the coolest surprise when we got to Corpus Christi - the USS Lexington. Chris and I had always wanted to tour an aircraft carrier! That by far, was the coolest thing I have ever seen. Well.....besides the mountains in Colorado. But it was definitely a close second. We were on that carrier over two hours and still didn't see everything! You also came to appreciate those that served and continue to serve on these carriers and submarines. I don't know how they do it. The quarters are so cramped. And how they keep from getting lost - I will never know. That place was like a maze!
Chris' grandfather, Ben Collinsworth, served in the Navy and worked in the postal division on his ship. We miss you Papaw Ben (11-9-1925 / 8-18-2006).
I had to put this picture on the blog simply because of Ty's stance. For those of you who don't know - this is a classic Collinsworth stance. If you watch closely, you are almost guaranteed to see a Collinsworth man standing this way!
