The displays and audio tour inside the new museum were heartbreaking

I spent almost a week in NYC with Jenn Jensen, Heidi Sandford and Mindy Colwell. We stayed at Hotel Empire and were non stop go-go-go. I think we fit in almost everything we wanted while we were there. We ate the most delicious food, shopped a lot, saw the Phantom of the Opera, people watched and even got a late night massage at a random hole in the wall. It was a fabulous girls trip that I will remember forever!!
