Road trip planning

Apr 10, 2009 21:37

Alison and I are coming out of our spring illnesses just in time for finals week and then a 2 week road trip. We've got vague plans to meander our way south and west. We've got a couple of thumbtacks on the map, as it were, and we know we'll be ending up in Tennessee with the climax of Dollywood. Much, however, is up in the air. The general map has us driving about 3-3.5 hours a day, which allows for multi-day stops here and there without terribly long days to make up for it. We'll swing through Kentucky, where I'll visit the Maker's Mark barrel with my name on it (literally) and visit the homes of all our friends who live in Nashville but won't be there during our trip, but for the most part, we'll just go where the road takes us.
If anyone has any knowledge of places worth a visit (or websites that give details on local fairs/festivals/flavor) please do tell. Suggestions for on-the-road entertainment/road-trip success are also very welcome.
