We are planning on taking a road trip to Nashville in late July. We had originally planned on flying but have now decided to make it into a 7 day road trip vacation. It will be me and the wife plus our two teenage kids (18 and 16). We have a general idea of places we want to go and see. Are there any places that the greenscreen can recommend either in Tennessee or perhaps on the road to and from. Also, any tips and pointers would be greatly appreciated.

I'm heading there 6/13 thru 6/24. My parents and sister live there and lived there from 94-2006.
We're doing Gatlinburg and Center Hill Lake and some hiking around the local waterfalls. Around Nashville proper, Broadway is busy and full of tourists (if that's your thing) but there are plenty of good places to eat and visit all over town. Franklin is nice as well as someone else mentioned.
If you're driving, make sure you check on the I40 bridge status when crossing from Arkansas to Tennessee, they've been re-routing due to the bridge being shut down.

Originally posted by wildaggie View PostGo to the Carter House and Carnton Plantation at the Battle of Franklin Battlefield, in Franklin, Tennessee. Allow at least a couple of hours, and afterward walk the grounds and imagine what it was like to be there during the Civil War. Go by the cemetery as well. Some Texas boys made sure that all the confederate soldiers the weren't taken back home were buried with identification, if possible. It is well worth the price of the combined admission tickets. Franklin is about 30 minutes south of Nashville. Take the interstate if you are in a hurry. Hwy 31 is a beautiful drive, but so slow during rush hour.
Well worth this visit. Also, drive a short distance east and visit Stones River National Battlefield. Both of these places are very moving if you have interest in USA history.
