Last week(ish), Tim's sister came to visit us!
Our first stop was dinner in Old Town, where we had the BEST mango margaritas.
That weekend we were finally able to give Laurie her birthday present - a zip lining adventure! I did some research and found out that the San Diego Zoo's Safari Park has a zip line, so we packed up and headed north to the desert. Along the way we picked up our family friend, Ken!
We had some time to kill before our zip line safari, so Tim found out he's a bit taller, but not quite as wide as a gorilla...
and we caught their bird show. This guy flew right over our heads several times!
I had to get a glimpse of the elephants - they're my favorite! How can you
not love the little baby following his momma!?
Then it was on to our safari! We're anxiously awaiting instructions after signing away our lives.
We're always putting fashion first...
Getting ready to take off on our first zipline!
After the first (short) zip line, they drove us up to the very peak of the park for the real deal! The main line is 2/3 of a mile long and takes about 4 minutes. I was the only one with a fear of heights, so naturally they had me go first. Oy!
We're all in the next photo (scanned image - sorry!). From L to R is Laurie, Ken, Tim, and Me. Basically right after this picture was taken Tim and Ken zoomed past me and landed first.

After our safari, we headed deeper in to the valley and took the tram ride around "Africa."
After that, it was much too hot (104+) to stay in the park and we headed back to our air conditioned condo.
The next day was much more relaxed, because we went to the beach! Here we are, coming out of the water, after a fairly successful body boarding session.
Dinner was not only delicious, but also a lesson in dressing -
You want to know the problem with shorts/dresses in hot weather?
