Default NCM/Bowling Green KY Trip-Advice?

Heading out in the morning for Bowling Green, plan to spend Sunday at the museum, and tour Corvette assembly on Monday. My one and only visit to NCM was in '98. Any advice from those that have been recently? Making the trip with youngest son, grandson and the wife.

They will take your pic as you go through and then show you the pics with you and yours around various classic Vettes. You can either buy a pic or a CD. My wife and I went to the museum, I declined the pics, and later wished I had gone ahead and sprung for the CD. It is kind of a novelty, but I won't get another chance. We went B.S. (Before Sinkhole) and got pics of the Vettes that dropped. Really enjoyed our visit.

My advice is to stop on all possible attraction along the way. The museum's visit is very rudimentary, go in, walk around, read, watch, take photos, exit. You can't not make a mistake at the NCM.

Well...not unless you get to close to the sink-hole!

Not much to do there besides take pics and tour the factory. Not sure what there is to see in between Indiana and there either.
