Tildes, I'm going on a ten day road trip with my s/o, what are some things I should prepare for?

It's been about a decade since I had a vacation and I have a wedding to attend, so to kill two birds with one stone we will be traveling from Florida to New York by car. Me and my girlfriend of 7 months will be taking the trip together and its both of our first times taking a vacation in forever.

Aside from the more obvious stuff like toothbrushes, clothes and condoms (humble brag), what should I think about? After the wedding we'll have nearly a full week to do anything we want or go just about anywhere within reason/distance.

Here's what I have covered so far:

Trip route is planned for there and (somewhat) back.

Car oil changed, tires replaced, cleaned & roadside assistance available 24/7.

Cat is taken care of, will be well fed and spied on via a security cam.

Got lots of good snacks for the road, small cooler with water etc.

Will be using airbnb or a somewhat affordable hotel most nights, we're not scraping by but we want to try and spend money on fun stuff instead of rooms.

Got plenty of phone charges, plugs, etc for all our electronics.

Got an emergency medical kit and a paper US map in the car (For fun, and just in case.)

So any suggestions, anything I am missing? Anything I can do to make the trip more fun for me and my girlfriend? Any fun road trip things to do between FL to NY would be nice as well!
