SATURDAY
Saturday was a GREAT day with lots of fun activities in New York.
Our day started with a great NBC studio tour where we got to see the set of the Dr. Oz show, Football Nights, and Saturday Night Live. It was neat to see the actual sets where these shows are filmed as well as the different areas around these sets. Unfortunately, no cameras were allowed so all we have to show you are us with the famous peacock. After the studio tour we walked around Rockefeller Plaza and took in some sights before heading out to do a little shopping and more sightseeing. We spent some time in H&M, Trump Tower, FAO SCHWARTZ, and some other shops that we passed along the way to Central Park. We enjoyed some yummy Starbucks in Trump Tower and bought some gifts for the kids in FAO SCHWARTZ. After our shopping we headed over to Central Park where we had a blast soaking up the sunshine, taking lots of pictures, and hanging out with great friends. It was so much fun and even though it was still cold, we loved every second in that area! After more walking and shopping we had to head back to our hotel to bundle up for our sunset cruise. Our cruise was a 2 hour tour of the island and it was amazing to see everything from that perspective, including the city skyline, NJ, and the Statue of Liberty. It was definitely BITTER cold outside on the decks but we were able to tolerate it briefly for photo opportunities. :) This was definitely a unique, fun, and relaxing way to see the city at night and we loved it! Afterward we were all starving so we headed back into the city and ate dinner at BB King's restaurant, which was a fun atmosphere with some live music. The food was great and the entertainment was fun. It was a great ending to a wonderful day for sure!

(We highly recommend the tour next time you're in NY.)
(After the tour we had to take a bathroom break...of course...and a few pictures before moving on.)
(Trump Tower was the perfect place to run inside, grab a cup of coffee, and warm up before walking even further and shopping some more.)
(Our little Playboys)
(FAO SCHWARTZ was definitely a lot of fun for window shopping and playing!)
(By the time we got to Central Park, the sun decided to come out more. It was beautiful and we had a blast climbing the rocks and bridges while taking lots of pictures.)
(Some of our pre-cruise pictures are above and then the ones below are from during the cruise. Our ship pulled out promptly at 7:00 and we pulled back up to the dock at 9:00 sharp.)
(Dinner at BB Kings. We had a very quaint and comfy booth. If you look below you can see what the restaurant looked like from the balcony. Our table is in the botttom-right corner.)
