Holidays 2017: Birthday Trip to N.Y.C

Katherine Heigl celebrating her birthday in New York City

The good news is that my friends and family more than made up for it with a badass trip to New York where we ate, shopped, rested, ate and ate some more!

When I found out he had two shows in the city early December and that our friends here in Utah had already booked their tickets so they could see him play I had the most intense FOMO ever! I’m not much of an impromptu traveler and usually choose to stay cozied up at home if given the option. This time however I couldn’t bare the thought of missing all the fun.

So I called up my sister and mother and convinced them to take the trip with me by using it as a great excuse for a much needed Heigl gals holiday getaway! So without further ado, here are all the pictures of our fabulous New York City trip and links to all the best spots we found in case you want to plan you’re own getaway soon.Continue Reading
