Some people take vacations to relax, catch up on their reading, sleep in & wake up late... We are NOT those people. We like to immerse ourselves in the culture, go until we drop, & jam pack as much site seeings as possible, and boy does NYC have some sites to see! Check out how we saw "everything" in just F O U R D A Y S ! *Itinerary included*

This was Cody's first & my second time to visit the Big Apple (but my first time as a legal drinking adult). I wanted to ensure we saw as much as possible so I put my "Type A" hat on & developed the below downloadable itinerary (and yes, we did everything on it!).
