I'oly know PA.
I would suggest you stop at Lancaster PA, since it's like a mecca for quilters. the Amish farms are beautiful in spring too. It depends quilt show in Lancaster in the end of March.

Continue across Route 30 to Gettysburg PA. It's a national treasure. The museum is wonderful. Get a guide to take you to the battleground and tell you stories. And have dinner at the Dobbins House.

as far as Kentucky goes i was just there last month and i went to the Quilt Museum and to Eleanor Burns " Quilt in a day shop
she has some beautiful fabric and it is not exspensive

Illinois we have the Abraham Lincoln Museum it is reaaly nice place to visit (springfield) along with the old State Capital one block from it both are downtown

Gatlinburg Tenn has a wonderful little resturant called 'Desserts and More' in wht is called 'The Villate" on the main drag. Most everything they serve is homemade. Room for about 16 customers.

If you're going to be in Southern Indiana in the area of I-64, try to make it to NEW HARMONY. The community is about 200 years old and began as a Rappite community. Quite a few interesting buildings and some wonderful restaurants.

Ahemmmmmmmmmmmmmm! The Louisville Slugger Museum is in INDIANA! A rock's throw from Louisville, but on MY side of the river.

(sorry, couldn't help myself!)

I liked the Grand Canyon - even from the top. I did not realise that you had to book ahead of time in order to go into the Canyon. At the time that I went, there was a 3 week waiting period to go down as they were only allowing a certain number down each day. Perhaps things have changed, but you should check it out to avoid disappointment. I have seen pictures of a skywalk that's over the Canyon now. That may be worthwhile. I also enjoyed the Navajo crafts, weaving and jewellery.
