just got back, the museum and plant tour were interesting it may seem cool to build corvettes but those guys and gals work hard. the kids who take you on the tour serve an internship with gm reach in your pocket and tip them they do a nice job. also consider staying in nashville its 60 miles south about 30 min in a vett. stop in the hony tonky live music hicks and chicks its a good time stay in nashville walk back to your room. watch the roads lot of big pot holes for 70mph speed limit watch where the blacktop meet the concreat overpass.the paint sure takes a beating on a 1000 mile road trip the worst is flat beds hauling construction equiment

It's always a good time at the museum and plant and Nashville is a great city for things to do. Sounds like you had a very good time.
