On July 25th, I attended a fun event for adults at the Los Angeles Zoo. The event is called Roaring Nights & as I had mentioned, this is strictly for the 18 years & older crowd. As much as I enjoy taking my daughter to the LA Zoo during the day, there is something to be said for going there at night without the little ones in tow. Sometimes mama needs a night out with friends, am I right?! I met my friend at the entrance of the LA … [Read more...]
