Much of the summer has been taking up with work, family obligations and wedding prep.  So as August started to slip away I decided to plan a super secret surprise day for The Goog (well 3 people knew were we where going, but he didn't and that's the important part).  So armed with the GPS, road snacks and vague idea of what we would do when we got there, we set out.
