Since Fletch didn't get to come to New York with us, I felt the need to showcase the star of "mostly pictures", in all of his Christmas glory... (taken by tall Brian- thanks!)

Merry Belated Christmas!!

Grand Central Station is one of my favorite places in New York. Such a huge space, people bustling about, and very "old" feeling.
On the Staten Island Ferry. The statue of liberty is behind us (you'll just have to trust me.) One of the only free things to do in NYC, but really fun.
I did spend a considerable amount of time looking through my purse for the hotel key, metro pass, phone, etc. Some things don't change, even when you're on vacation. (PS, this is about 1:30 a.m in the middle of the blizzard.)
"top of the rock" We opted for this view since it was so close to our hotel, as compared with the Empire State Building. It is really amazing to see the city from above, especially at night.
My other favorite part of the city. You just can't do this tree justice, by seeing it on SNL.
We promise to come back, big city! Thanks for a beautiful trip.Maybe we should call it "mostly pictures of Fletch". After all, isn't that why you're here,(mama)?
