We started day three a little later (as we were still pretty tired from Monday) but were still out relatively early compared to most of NYC! We used the subway a second time and headed out to the Statue of Liberty cruise. This was a much longer ride so we got to see a lot of interesting people. Getting through security wasn't too bad and before we knew it we had boarded the ferry headed to see the Statue of Liberty.
This was Preston's favorite part of the trip. We couldn't get tickets to the pedestal or crown, but it was still amazing to be so close to this beauty. The weather had become quite dreary so after walking around the statue and taking some pictures, of course hitting the gift shop, we were ready to re-board the ferry to head back to NYC.
After that we hopped back on the bus and headed for Times Square again.
After a quick street stand lunch (which actually was delicious), we attempted to see the window displays at Saks Fifth Avenue a bit more, but the crowds were just unbearable!
So we finally gave up, went back to AG to pick up Savannah's shirt and then headed back to the hotel to regroup. It was nice to relax a bit and we decided to have dinner in. I ordered John's pizza, we picked up Shake Shack shakes AND Junior's cheesecake and brought it all back to the hotel for dinner.

It was one delicious meal and enjoyed in the "uncrowded" comfortable space of our own hotel. We knew our fun in the city was over ;( and that we had to get up super early for our flight the next day so we called it a day and hit the bed!
This was definitely a Christmas to remember. It was insanely crazy and something we'll probably never do again, but I pray the kids made memories that will last a lifetime!
