This past weekend (July 25th and 26th) I went on an adventure around New York City with a wonderful friend. There was loads of walking, tons of money spent, but a greater amount of memories made.
Before you head out on any adventure in a new place you need to pack some key things:
1. A light weight bag such as a duffle bag and/or a backpack.
2. Ticket for your destination
3. Pillow for your travels
4. Everything you use daily in the bathroom (travel sized)
5. Clothes to accommodate the weather
6. An umbrella for the rain or sunglasses for the sun
7. Wallet and a backpack or purse to carry said wallet
8. Cash
9. Phone and phone charger
10. A water bottle; stay hydrated
11. A book to keep entertained when traveling to said destination.
Now that everything is packed and you are ready to go, make sure you have a game plan of all sights and places you want to see. Below is all that we did in two days:

And of course take pictures of different, interesting buildings along the way.
