FUN! Austin Trip!
|
Start: 5:52 PM CST
Hi everyone! I'm back! ^^ The Austin trip WAS REALLY FUN! ^^!!! What? Did you not think I had a life besides my computer? Now, about the trip.
Friday
I got up at 5 PM so to catch the bus to Austin. ^^ But I was almost late. And so was Jessica! We were riding Sun Travel buses. (Just in case if people in the Texas area saw us.) But what really ticked me off was that I was separated from the group! We traveled for three hours, and then we took a break in a McDonalds somewhere in the Silsbee/Jasper area. I didn't eat anything. (Probably because it was still breakfast time!) Weird things happened there. For instance, Ann was putting butter in my hair. XP And secondly, people were playing in the playground. Gosh, it freaked all of us out! (Imagine teenage kids playing in the playground area of McDonalds.) I was cracking up! We took several pictures, and then we went onto our way.
We reached Austin about noontime. Austin is mountainous, unlike Houston, which is at sea level. I liked the climate. Our first stop was the captiol, where we took a tour. The tour was nice, but staring down from several floors made me scared. (Seven floors in the capitol, I think?) After the tour, we went into the souvenir shop. I wanted to buy something, but those prices are so high!!! ($7 for a gold star keychain!)
We went outside the capitol and took lots of pictures around it. I kept taking pictures with my cell phone. ^^
We stopped by Wal-Mart after the capitol to get some snacks and such. Yeah... lupinblack3 and I went into the video game area, but we had to leave. I bought some soda water and a poster. (Really, everyone bought a poster! XP)
About 3 PM, we went to our hotel, the Holiday Inn. We started unpacking and stuff.
At 5 PM, we went to a pizza place called Gatti-Town. It's nice. But I didn't eat at all! I spent $8 in the arcade itself! XP We played video games, bumper cars, racing games, fighting games. (-_-;; darkwolfgirl beat me in most of them...) But I got caught up in a game called "Percussion Rhythm" or something. It's like DDR, only with drums. REALLY FUN! I think I spent $4 in that game. Well, Tarneshia, darkwolfgirl, and I spent lots of time on that game. But we had to leave.
After the pizza thing, around 7 PM, we went to go see the movie "Beauty Shop." Funny. ^^ I bought an Icee and then we went back into the hotel.
Saturday
We woke up around 7 AM and went to the breakfast buffet. As darkwolfgirl said "Let's all eat artery-choking food!" Haha
This is the reason why we went to the Austin trip: The conference. It was fun, but it was SEVEN HOURS!!! (8 AM - 3 PM) Oh well.
We went to the San Marcos mall, located in San Marcos, which was about a 15-minute drive away from Houston. Since we were shopping along, we had to have a partner. In our group was me, Javier, Kiah, lupinblack3, BlueKitsune, and Tarneshia. We didn't really shop there, because we crossed over to the other mall. (The Tanger mall.) WE HAD TO GO ACROSS THREE LARGE PARKING LOTS!!! I didn't buy anything, except a pack of cards. BlueKitsune got a old GBA game for Spyro.
We went back to the San Marcos mall, and into the food court. I got Chinese food, but it sucked! BLEH! I PAID $7.50 FOR MY FOOD, AND I THREW HALF OF IT AWAY! Later, in the hotel, it made me sick. (If you know what I mean...)
We went into the pool at 8 PM. Yes, 8 "PM"!!! Yes, that's at night! It was cold, but so fun! ^^ It was freezing cold, but none of us got sick!
Did you know the pope died? Poor him...
I watched anime night, but it was kinda hard to. First of all, guys from other rooms were boxing in the room. So I went into the other room. There, I found my friend, Alphonse, playing Mortal Kombat: Deception with the bus driver. The bus driver is really good. ^^
We were almost kicked out of the hotel because other people were so rowdy. Hear this: People from other rooms came into our room. They were boxing, and we got in trouble, even though we didn't do anything. People downstairs got complaints, and we had to take the blame. T_T Well, when I woke up in the morning Sunday, those guys got kicked out of the hotel. (YES!)
Sunday
Ah, it was time to go home. I packed all my stuff and left the hotel with all my friends. Kinda hard, 'cause someone lost the key and I wandered on a full stomach for 1.5 hours. T_T
We stopped by Excalibur, a fair for the old times. (Like King Arthur and stuff.) It was fun. We saw lots of cool stuff. We tried lots of new things. darkwolfgirl tried archery. She only made 2 out of 10. ^^;; Oh well. At least she tried. blackcatcurse tried tomato throwing. There was this guy cursing at her, and she threw tomatoes at him. Too bad she didn't make any. (0 out of 8) Then, darkwolfgirl came into the fight. Out of 4 tomatoes, she ALMOST made 3.
We tried lots of new stuff. And I was just looking around. So much stuff! Pendants, fairy tails, necklaces. I bought an ocarina! ^^ So did BlueKitsune! It's small, but fun to play! In addition, the guy gave me a free sheet of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time sheet music! I regret it later. (The ocarina costed me $26!)
Well, we stopped by San Jacinto Mall in Houston. Only one hour to shop. Not that good. I didn't get anything, but darkwolfgirl got an Inuyasha manga and Inuyasha trading cards. Then, we headed back home.
I'm so sorry if I took up TOO much of your time. Well, I'm gonna go unpack. Again. There's a Six Flags trip in May! (Our school has a lot of trips!)
End: 6:25 PM CST
