Austin, Texas TEA Party 9/5/09

Saturday we drove up to Austin for the TEA (taxed enough already) party. It was such a fun and memorable day being with family, meeting the famous "Joe the Plumber", hearing some excellent (and hilarious) speakers such as Steven Crowder and being able to tour the capitol. The minimum count of people that lined the steps of the State Capitol were over 2,300.

Here are some photos of the capitol.....








On our way to Austin.... we passed a lot of buses going to the TEA party....

Me with my new cowgirl hat. :) On our way there, we had stopped at a gas station with a gift shop. I never thought I would wear a PINK cowgirl hat, none the less BUY one! But I love it now!



The crowds....













Steven Crowder speaking...he was so hilarious and animated!











Joe the Plumber speaking


With friends, Hannah and Marci. :) (Geee! They make me look so short!) :-p












Aren't these stairs so mysterious!?! I LOVE them! I wish I had time while there to go up them, but they were at the tip top of the capitol. :)

After the TEA party we drove to San Antonio and ate dinner on the River walk. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful day. :)
