so this weekend the guy and i are getting our safari on by using a pair of free passes we were so generously gifted by my parents (thanks, guys!) to visit the san diego zoo’s safari park.

and i’m really excited about it. i mean, it has been eons since i’ve been to the zoo and even longer since i’ve ventured out east to its safari park -which i will forever refer to by its ORIGINAL name of “wild animal park;” just how i refuse to call it the “san diego fair”, because it’s the DEL MAR FAIR, people.

i mean, it’s like you trying to make fetch happen, it’s not going to happen.

ANYWAY, name changes aside, chances are come saturday, i’ll be blowing up instagram (oh, not following me yet? what are you waiting for? find me: shawnaleeann) with shots of lions, tigers, and bears, oh my! with a few of me and my man in our best zoo-going attire (which will probably be made of breathable fabrics seeing as it’ll probably be upwards of 90-degrees out in escondido. woof.) thrown in for good measure.

i’ll be sure to say hi to timon and pumbaa for you.

hakuna matata.
