WILD KINGDOM


As a kid,  I would sit in front of the TV and nerd out, watching Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom. That show made me want to become one with nature…  Imagine me as a feral child roaming the jungle like Tarzan, raised by wolves, swinging from vines —okay you’re right, that’s pretty far fetched for a girl that’s mildly afraid of dogs!!  I wouldn’t last a second in the jungle!!  But for some reason I have this dying desire to go on safari. The closest that I’ve gotten so far was a recent work trip to California’s wine country.  We visited Safariwest which is a wildlife preserve on over 400 acres with hundreds of exotic animals in a natural habitat.  Here are the pictures from that trip:

We’ve already established that I would’ve failed as a feral child!  The lack of plumbing and air conditioning in the jungle would have definitely been a deal breaker for me.  So to satisfy my inner jungle girl I put a fresh zebra striped Konad on my nails.  ROOOOaaaaarrr.
