Carissa Takes The City, NYC in 26 Hours!

November 19, 2019 By Carissa Garabedian

24.4 miles walked in 26 hours in NYC on a quick getaway with my hubby. This was a gift for my birthday and it is something we rarely get to do. I was an anxious and a stressed out wreck leading up to the trip. I wanted to bail a few times, but thanks to my oldest daughter, our guy was well taken care of and we had a blast.

NYC is an easy destination to get to, there is always something to do and it doesn’t have to be expensive.
