Savannah Guthrie's life is always on the go, thanks to the rigors of the job as one of daytime's leading news anchors on the Today Show.

When not juggling time away from the studio lot for assignments, both locally and overseas, the 51-year-old is taking small chunks out of her schedule for some well-deserved "me time."

Such was the case on the latest installment of Today, as it was revealed at the top of the morning news show that Savannah had taken the day off and was being replaced alongside Hoda Kotb by Craig Melvin.

"Savannah's taking a day off mid-week," Hoda shared. "A little break in the middle of the week."

It was earlier this week that the anchor returned to the show after taking the week off over the July 4th holiday to spend time with family.

In the midst of it all, they managed to squeeze in a vacation to the United Kingdom, with Savannah and her husband Michael Feldman spotted at a much more exciting locale over the weekend.

The NBC News host was seen at Hyde Park on Saturday, July 8, at the Bruce Springsteen concert, but she wasn't alone as they were joined by fellow rocker Jon Bon Jovi and tennis star (and Savannah's friend) Roger Federer.

Savannah posted the photograph on her social media of the three at the show, writing: "Two legends. Three if you count Bruce," and received a flurry of excited responses from her fans.

Chief among them was her co-host Hoda, who simply wrote: "Whaaaaaaaaaaatttt????" while ABC's Deborah Roberts commented: "Yes!!!!"

"Right through our whole show, I'm texting with my husband, with the babysitter. They're always at the forefront of my mind. But I'm concentrating, too."

She added: "There's a certain vulnerability you have when you have children. You know that something you're completely invested in is walking around in the world and it's your job to protect it.

"You couldn't have a greater stake in their wellbeing. My little kids, even if they have the sniffles, if they're not at peace, I'm not at peace."
