If you are near Chattanooga, there is Rock City, our beautiful mountains and lots of Civil War sites. We also have the Chattanooga Choo Choo hotel which has actual railroad cars you can get rooms in and the Tennessee Aquarium. I live about 25 miles from Chattanooga and would love to meet you. There are two wonderful quilt shops, one in Chattanooga called Lavender Lime and one just outside Chattanooga in Ringgold, GA called Sew Bee It. We also have a new Joannes in Chattanooga which you might be able to get in by then (it's pretty busy since it just opened last month!)

Can you give us an idea of what kind of things you're looking to see (besides quilt shops and gun shops). lol
Are you wanting to see major attractions or are you looking for the little hide-a-way places off the beaten path?

You could also go to the library and look through their US Travel books for ideas.

Here'a a couple links where you might find some ideas too.

Both central Pa and Northeast Ohio have Amish areas. They have beautiful completed quilts as well as shops. I agree that you might want the quilt shop book. I got mine at my LQS and stick in in the car anytime we travel.
If you talk to some locals they will send you in the right direction and let you know where to go. They know the best places to eat as well!!

Kentucky... don't know your interests but.... Boonesboro, Frankfort ( capital museum), Louisville ( Churchill Downs, Slugger Museum), Bowling Green ( Corvette Museum, Mammoth Cave of I 65 south of Louisville, are just a few... our parks are really pretty if interested. Good luck and have a wonderful journey.

Sounds like a fun time is coming your way.

How about giving us some MAJOR HIGHWAYS you're planning on using? That way we'll know what direction you're traveling and what parts of those states you mentioned.

If you go to Grand Marais, eat at the Angry Trout Restaurant! Delish!

We have a motorhome and our last trip out, a couple of weeks ago, I purchased the new 2010-2012 "Quilter's Travel Companion" book. It is the BEST BOOK! I found several shops right on our route on our way home and my sweet DH stopped for me to browse.
The cost of the book is $20, but the shopowner let me have it for $15. I have looked for another copy at Amazon and eBay to give to a friend for Christmas, but haven't been able to find another 2010-2012 copy.
If you can find one of these books, you will love it!

I love Grand Marais. All the names in the rocks!!!! Also the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, Ely, Echo Trail (my most favorite spot in the United States), Itasca (headwaters of the Mississippi). Being from Minnesota, I thought maybe a day trip to the Mall of America. That is something else! Been there - Once - Done that - Once - that's all! Edie
