San Diego Zoo Take 1

So Jake took the day off so we could go to the zoo, which is sort of a belated birthday present. We were crazy excited, and after the hour and a half drive to San Diego we were ready to see some wicked awesome animals! Well we got lost and had to turn around, and at about that time our car decided to stop working! The oil pressure light came on and it kept telling us to stop. So we pulled into some ghetto gas station and baked in the sun for over an hour while we waited for a tow truck. In the mean time, Jake was trying to work out our insurance/warranty for the car. It was all very frustrating. But eventually we were towed to the nearest VW dealership where we surrendered our car which we've only had for a month. By this time it was too late to go to the zoo, so we rented a car and drove back home. We're still trying to figure everything out with the car, but hopefully when we pick it up we'll make it to the zoo!


The exciting drive down

Jake's angry eyes. waiting for a tow. We've been married about a month and a half and have been towed twice already.

We did get to see a bird show from some sweet pigeons and finches, so the day wasn't a total loss!

Oh my gosh!!! You guys, I swear! You have worse luck than even Gene and I...knock on wood! Oh, I hope that you guys get your stuff figured out here soon and that everything turns back to "normal"!

That's funny. You know when Gene and Kira first got married their car broke down away from home too. Must be some sort of initiation into marriage to see how the two of you can manage stress together.
