594.71 Miles to Des Moines…

By car Yahoo! Maps says it will take over 9 hours…I think I could make it in 8.

Why am I looking up directions from Southfield, MI to Des Moine? 

It’s the “3rd Annual Blue ribbon Bacon Festival: One Giant Step for Man, One Giant Leap for Bacon” taking over Des Moines February 22-27.

They recently released their schedule for the week (yes, that is right, a full week of “festivities”) and I got to tell you, I have half a mind to at least jump in the car on Friday, take in the main event on Saturday, stop into Chicago on Saturday night and then home on Sunday.

Don’t tell Better Half yet…I still need to work out the details in my head…

Anyone up for a road trip?
