According to Maps.com, it would only be 1.5 hours out of our way (10.5 hours from Franklinton to Santa Claus; 8.7 hours from Franklinton to Kings Mills and 3.3 from Kings Mills to Santa Claus).
Just something to ponder...
Okay... You're Completely Crazy!
The only problem is... when? I would personally rather spend the extra time at HW on Friday... unless everyone wants to go up to KI early friday. The only problem with that is we would have to leave KI so early to get back in time for the event at HW it wouldn't really be worth the trip up to KI. We won't be getting in early enough on Thursday to make it up to KI. and going on Memorial day (for a brief time) would be insane!
The only chance, and maybe this is what you were getting at, is to drive straight through to KI. They are open till 8pm on Thursday night and have "Gold Pass Meal Deals" going on that day:
