Advance America

Eat some of the best shrimp that South Texas has to offer at the Aransas Pass Shrimporee festival, the largest of its kind in the state. The festival takes place every June and cooks up plenty of shrimp dishes that won't leave you hungry. Word to the wise - don't eat too much before getting on the carnival rides!

There aren't many places where you can enjoy a beer while shopping. Take advantage of the bargains, and perks, at the Corpus Christi Trade Center. The indoor flea market has plenty of unique items to keep you browsing for hours.

For red-blooded American men, nothing screams "romance" like a big, juicy steak. Ladies, when it's your turn to plan date night, treat your man to a romantic dinner at Katz 21 Steak & Spirits. The restaurant has a little something for everyone, including top-shelf drinks, live music and of course, delicious food.

Take a whack at mastering the fairways at NorthShore Country Club. The golf course plays for a par of 72 over 6,805 yards. While you're there, visit the clubhouse to see a gorgeous view of the course and the Corpus Christi Bay from the facility's floor-to-ceiling windows.
