| The Rankin family at "The View", a restaurant on top of the Marriot in Times Square that actually rotates as you sit and eat. From left front to right front: Chris's Dad-Ralph, Chris's brother-Ralph, Ralphs's fiancee-Katherine, Katherine's daughter-Luz (the little blue blob sleeping on Katherine's arm), Chris's sister-Deanna, Chris's sister-Marie, Chris, Me, and Chris's Mom-Maria. |
| Me and Chris on the very cold and windy Empire State Building. Or, as Luz says, the ENTIRE State Building. |
| Chris, Ralph, Marie, and Luz with Santa at Macy's. |
| Me with Chris's mom inside the warm and cozy lobby of the Empire State Building. |
| Time's Square at night. Chris has a thing for the moving BUD bottle. |
| Ground Zero. |
| The dedication wall at Ground Zero. |
