As some of ya'll know I recently made a trip to Austin Earlier this week. Leaving school at 1:20 on Monday and coming back at 6:30 on Tuesday. One thing I'd like to get across is that i was not trying to skip the TAKS. I had agreed to go on the trip long before I knew (or cared to remember) that I would be out during the TAKS. SO it went a little something like this

We started our journey headed west on I-10/Katy Freeway. Going to Austin is actually a pretty strait forword drive. When we got to 90 my dad let me drive for about 40 miles. It was pretty cool and it was boring at the same time. You take the West exit for 71 (which is the only exit you can take). We switched drivers (i went back to shotgun) and we countinued all the way to Austin's Sheraton Hotel. Like I said it is pretty strait forword.

WE went to check in at the hotel and we met this old couple Calvin & Priscilla Daetwyler who also happened to live in Houston across from Spring Woods. The computers at the Sheraton hotel were down so the front desk had trobule with people making reservations and getting into their rooms becuase it was all on the computers. The Daetwylers were given a key and they returned 10 minutes later saying that someone else occupied the room. HAHA

We checked into our room at 4:15 and changed into out suits and stuff and got ready to go to Creekside 2 which is a meeting room. When we got there and 5:00 it was really just a reception for all of the American Heart advocates to meet and get aquainted with. We talked then at 6:00 walked over to a resturant called Seranos. However my dad forgot something back at the Hotel

*embarrising story about my dad ahead*

My dad went to go back to the hotel. But all he could remember about the direction was that it was up a hill so he started walking up a hill. After a while he realized he should've seen the hotel by now. He turned around and bam. In big Red letters on the side of the 20 story Sheraton it says "SHERATON" and has a logo.

The State Capitol is a beautiful building. Absoulutely beautiful. Espicailly in a city built around it. As we headed to the Capitol on Tuesday Morning it was a very tiring walk do to having to walk up hill. I'll tell this story tomorrow as this is already a long post. So check it out tomorrow.
