Default Road trip

Hi all, I am considering a trip to Memphis TN. this summer. I live near Lake Erie and will probably spend a night in Cinncinatti Ohio to partake of some of their infamous chili joints and then to Memphis next day. I would appreciate any helpful hints on possible stopovers or any info to make this a most enjoyable trip in my c-5. Thanks in advance.

While in Cinncinatti, go to the Newport Aquarium in Newport Kentucky. It is literally across the river and you can touch real stingrays! Also include a stop to the NCM as already stated to visit the other kind of Stingray.

On the way back work your way east to the Blue Ridge Parkway, it will add a couple hundred miles if you pick it up in Ashville and take it north to Staunton, Va. but worth every mile.

If you're going to get towards east Tennessee, do the tail of the dragon.

Montgomery Inn is a good eat stop in Cincy.
Nashville (my home town) has many great places to visit.
