CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Over 150,000 people visited the city during the Memorial Day weekend according to numbers from the city's convention and visitor's bureau.
"Steve Banta, the executive director of the U.S.S. Lexington Museum reached out to me. Said it was their best Memorial Day Weekend they've ever had," Brett Oetting, President and CEO of Visit Corpus Christi said.
USS Lexington was not the only popular spot on the holiday weekend.
"Fred Sour at Doc's Seafood and Steaks out on The Island, they were on a 3 hour wait on Saturday at one point and said he walked out into the parking lot- he's never seen so many out of state vehicles in his parking lot at one time," Oetting said.
