(from last night)
I think the last time I’ve been to the Wild Animal Park is in 2004 when I went with Ryan and ruined the backseat of my car with forgetting lemonade in the backpack!
It’s a tragedy for me that it’s been 4 years since I’ve been there. San Diego is really not that far away, even though the gas prices recently made me spend $50 for the first time ever to fill my tank.
Next month, Apocalyptica is coming for a US tour and on a whim, Nicole and I decided to go to SD to see them since we were already planning to go there to see Nightwish a month later.
They play on a Saturday night so we talked about perhaps trying to fit in visits to the Wild Animal Park since Nicole’s never been to either. I of course am always all about the WAP and don’t really care about the Zoo though it’s a great one for a zoo.
Today, I decided that I could afford to take another step in that direction and bidded on priceline for a hotel room that night. And got it!
Next Friday, I’ll rejoin the Zoological Society as a Diamond Club member so that I can always take another adult with me. That’ll get N in for free. And Angela too whenever we can work out when to help the twins make use of their Koala Club memberships I gave them for Christmas.
Definitely feels less frustrating to be tight in the $$ between periods when I know that I am getting some fun out of it and achieving things I really want to do (wouldn’t be on the list otherwise right?)
I’m really very excited about this. I just need to find someone who can check in on the dogs but that shouldn’t be a problem.
