Spring/Summer To Do List

To keep myself motivated to get out and explore, I started creating a "to-do" lists of sorts. Some of these friends have told me about, some I've found online, and others are straight out of cheesy tourism books.

This list will be ever growing and changing but so far it looks a bit like this:

• Bike from Westhampton to Montauk and camp for a night
• Visit Washington DC
• Try Stand Up Paddle Boarding
• Explore Governor's Island
• Explore Roosevelt Island
• See Kaaterskill Falls
• Bike from my house to the Far Rockaways
• Visit the NY Botanical Gardens
• Bike the Manhattan Greenway Loop
• Go to two different beaches in 1 weekend on my bike
• Explore St. Patricks Cathedral and the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine
• Visit Grant's Tomb
• Run the steps in Morningside Park
• Try the Trapeze
• Explore Greenwood Cemetery

Items that I've completed:

• Summit Mt. Taurus
• Hike Breakneck Ridge and not break my neck
• Explore all the Central Park Sites (post and pictures to come!)

Most of these items are free or at least under $20 with a few obvious exceptions. So here's to a season full of active exploration! This is my pledge to get off the couch (although not right now... right now I'm pretty comfy).

Belvedere Castle in Central Park

Cheers to a week of exploration!
