NYC Part 1

I took Aidan to New York City to celebrate his 13th birthday (a week early, to take advantage of two school holidays he had for Easter!) and we had a blast! I had planned it for a while, and two of my college friends Leslie and Jen joined us there with their kids Jack and Corinne. Aidan and I did our own thing during the day and met up with them at night. After getting there late Thursday night, we woke up Friday and went to see Rockefeller Plaza, St. Patrick's Cathedral, FAO Schwarz, Radio City Music Hall, and the NBA Store before having lunch and then going on a tour of NBC Studios. We loved going behind the scenes and seeing Jimmy Fallon's studio (I had been in there a couple years earlier when my friends and I got to see his monologue rehearsal!), the SNL studio, and Seth Myers' studio! Our group also got to make a talk-show format video which was really funny (I was in the band and Aidan was in the control room). After the tour we took the subway to Greenwich Village to see the apartment used for exterior shots in Friends, as well as Carrie Bradshaw's brownstone from Sex & The City. Then we met up with our friends at Ellen's Stardust Diner which was so fun!! After some photo ops in Time Square, we headed back to the hotel to rest up for the next day!
