Everyone Should See the 9/11 Memorial & Museum in NYC
Whether you lived through it or not, it's worth the trip.
A few years ago, my husband and I took a trip to New York City. I lived there for a bit back in college and hubby visited constantly growing up. We try to go back a few times each year. It's fun sharing our stories and favorite hangout spots, while also creating new ones together.
Touring the 9/11 Memorial & Museum in NYC
On this particular trip, we dedicated an entire day to the September 11 Memorial and Museum which was an unforgettable experience.
We didn't know what to expect getting off the subway, but when we came upon the reflection pools, the mood changed entirely. The city is eerily quiet around Ground Zero as if setting the stage for the experience you are about to encounter. An experience you will never forget.
We walked around the pools, taking in all of the names listed and coming upon white roses every so often. Roses that have been placed in remembrance of those lost 17 years ago. At each rose, I found myself pausing and thinking about placing a rose there for one of my loved ones.
