In August 2001 Becky and I took the kids to New York City for a few days. We were in the area to look at colleges for Katie and we stayed in a hotel in midtown Manhattan. On one afternoon Becky and Kate went shopping at one of the big stores and Sean wanted to see Wall Street so we took the subway downtown. While we were there we decided to go up to the top of the World Trade Center. It was spectacular. I took some pictures then and I wish I could find them now. It was just amazing how much you could see from up there on the tower observation deck. We spent some time up there and then headed back uptown on the subway.There was a firehouse across the street from our hotel and we remembered seeing a group of firefighters sitting around in front of their station every time we looked out the window in our room. It broke our hearts thinking about those brave men and women and what they would go through about two weeks later on 9/11 as we experienced the shock of that day and remembered being on that observation deck that was no more.
