In America dating is big. It's so big there is an industry built to cater this part of social life.
From dating sites to valentine day to candy to flowers the GDP benefits from this scam big. Add to this another industry making a killing - big pharma.

Guess which three have eluded this intrepid traveling family. Any rate the drive was all in about 1,800 miles and included some memorable geographic wonders or points of interest. Easternmost part of state of Massachusetts being one. Furthest drivable road east in Mass being another. Visit to all Ivy League schools (term harkens to a collegiate athletics conference and generally regarded as elite academic institutes of some repute worldwide) is another random bucket list item of which this trip afforded the chance to knock two more of the list.
