This past Saturday Phil and I had one of our scheduled friend dates and we decided to spend it wandering around Brooklyn.
We intended on starting off our little day date by driving to Williamsburg to hit up the Brooklyn Flea and Smorgasburg. But we ended up taking a detour on the way to hit up Porto Rico Importing Co. Coffee & Tea for some much needed caffeine, and then L Train Vintage (Or L'Train as we so stupidly thought for a hot second) because we love us a thrift shop.
While we were in L Train Vintage we jokingly decided that everyone attending his bachelor party in Colorado must wear flannel and cowboy boots Brokeback Mountain (2005) style. Whether or not we actual implement this ruling will be seen, but I think there is a fair chance you will be seeing photos from that trip with us all flanneled out.
When we were done looking at the overpriced items at L Train Vintage we hopped back into the car and drove down to Kent Street to hit up the Flea. As per usual we could not find parking anywhere near there, so we drove around forever and eventually found a spot blocks away from where we had to be. But that ended up being good because we got to see some awesome street art, found a little park near the old Domino Sugar Factory and just people watched a bit as we walked to the Flea.
We wandered the flea market side for awhile, looking at the various pieces of furniture, knick knacks, artwork, etc. until we got hungry and decided to brave the crazy lines on the Smorgasburg side (Who would have thought it would be so packed on such a rainy day).
Eventually we were done with the goings on at the flea market and decided it was time to move on. As we were walking to the car we strolled past OddFellows Ice Cream Co and decided to walk in to try some ice cream (And to use their restroom because there were no damn porta potties at the flea). I ended up getting a scoop of the most delicious black pepper fig ice cream, which I ate while Phil and I drove in traffic for an hour trying to head over towards Dead Horse Bay.
We had the best time just bullshitting and cracking jokes about our surroundings while we were in the car that hour. We also made another life decision, to go to Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus next month before it closes down forever.
Eventually we made it to Dead Horse Bay but unfortunately the tide was starting to come in, so we didn't find as many treasures as we did the last time we went (Which you can read about here, here and here). But it was still fun looking through what garbage was there and trying not to get attacked by ticks and the rabbit witch.
Despite the fact that it was a rainy blah seeming day, we made the best of it all and had a great time with each other. I hope our next outing is during better weather and we can spend our time together outside and not in the car -- Even though I must say we tend to have the best of times when in the car together.

From End To End | Adventures In Montauk & Brooklyn...
For the longest time I've wanted to drive to Camp Hero State Park out in Montauk here on Long Island because it used to be an Air Force station, so there are some buildings there from when it was and I wanted to check them out because I love abandoned things, plus I love a good outing at a park.
So this past Saturday Justin, Phil, Erin and I finally drove out to Camp Hero to do some hiking (Have to break in those boots for Iceland) and exploring of the old building on the property.
We got about four hours worth of hiking and exploring in before it started to rain. During those hours, we saw some awesome wildlife, cool old buildings and batteries from when it was an operational military station from 1941-1981 and a bunch of other neat stuff.

After our adventure we headed back to one of our other friend's houses to shower off, eat dinner and play video games until the wee hours of the morning.
On Sunday Justin, Erin and I headed over to Phil's apartment to meet up with him so we could drive out to Brooklyn to attend the Morbid Anatomy Museum's Morbid Anatomy Flea Market. We got there maybe thirty minutes after the event started and there was a line around the block to get in. We waited on line for a while but decided to not wait any longer because the set up seemed a little ridiculous to us and it was misty out.
So we decided that since we were already in Brooklyn that we'd drive over to Williamsburg and hit up the Brooklyn Flea Market. Which was a much better idea.
We ate a bunch of food from various vendors, bought randomness and then headed to the Bushwick Inlet Park to hang out because it ended up being a beautiful day after the AM mist.
After the park and hitting up the Flea for some doughnuts to take home and some ice pops from People's Pops for the road, we headed back to Phil's dropped off the food and then we drove to Sands Point Preserve to do a little light hiking and wander around there.
At some point it started to drizzle, so we left the park and hit up Salvatore's Coal Fire Pizza for dinner before heading our separate ways.
So yeah, that was my weekend. We literally drove over one hundred and fifty miles all over Long Island to do all of these things and I think they were totally worth the mileage on Phil's car.
What did you do this weekend?
