A Field of...SPAM?

On the way to Minneapolis, we had to, I repeat, had to stop at the Field of Dreams movie site in Dyersville, IA. It was just like we remembered from the movie. We all had a chance to stand on the pitchers mound and run the bases. The only thing missing was the field of corn. And Kevin Costner.





And then on to.....wait for it....The Spam Museum in Austin, MN. What you ask? A museum devoted to the amazingness that is Spam? Yes, there is such a place. A plethora of information about Hormel and Spam specifically. Who knew there were so many kinds of Spam? We did leave with a few types to try. We've decided to have a blind Spam tasting when we are all reunited on the road. Everyone had better brush up.





I also found out that I am 21 Spam cans tall. I'm not sure how that relates to my weight, but maybe I don't want to know.  

At an rate, when we stopped we scared the pants off the Spam folks. We decided to drive the motorhomes to both the Field of Dreams and the Spam Museum. As we parked, we were met by a nice young man with a Spam umbrella, making sure we were okay where we parked. If you haven't seen two motorhomes parallel parked, you haven't lived. The folks in the store saw us go by and couldn't believe it. Two more badges for Craig and Tom.
