Part 1 of the "Adventure": FL to Lake Geneva, WI

First stop will be West of Ocala at Rainbow Springs State Park.  We should arrive on May 1 and leave on the 3rd.

Last stop in Florida will be in Marianna at Florida Caverns State Park. Turns out we have to see the Caverns on Thurs. AM as they are closed the two days we planned to be there!   Timing!!!  Probably wont make it to Tupelo, but somewhere in between and longer day in to Memphis than original plan.  After Carlsbad Caverns in NM we are anxious to see more of these amazing gems.

We have reservations at T.O. Fuller State Park in Memphis May 6 to 10.
Things we've heard that we should see in Memphis:
Blues City Cafe, Graceland, Sun Studios, Gibson Guitar Factory, Memphis Rock N Soul Museum, Riverboat cruise, Stax Museum of American Soul, Beale Street, Having a drink on the roof top of the Peabody Hotel and seeing the ducks, Pink palace Museum, Statue of Elvis, Memphis Botanic Gardens.  Dining: A.Schwab, Brother Junipers for a breakfast, Central BBQ, Muddy's bake shop and Soulfish Cafe.  We'll only be there 4 days (unless we change our minds) so probably wont hit all of these, but once we get there we'll see how much we can cram in.  If you've been there and have a suggestions or a NIX, please let us know.  Same goes for all the lists below.

Nashville will be the next major stop and we have 4 days here as well:
Ryman Auditorium, Grand Ole Oprey, RCA Studios, Johnny Cash Museum, Belmont Mansion, Belcourt Theatre, Parthenon in Centennial Park, Tennessee State Capital, Jack Daniels Distillery, Travellers Rest Plantation, Andrew Jackson's Hermitage, Country Music Hall of Fame, Creekwood Botanical Garden, Belle Mead Plantation, Carnation Museum, Fort Nashborough.

Gatlinburg / Smokey Mountain National Park
We have about a week here.  Aside from the obvious tourist attractions we'll spend a lot of time touring the National Park with a definite trip to see my family in Clarkesville and Gainesville, GA at some point.  Having the car will allow us long day trips or even an over-night trip should we need to.

We have not booked reservations as yet for places to stay as we hate to be locked in to specific dates until we see how the trip goes and if we've allowed enough time.  If you have suggestions of places to stay we'd love to hear them.

The ultimate goal for this portion of the trip is to be in Lake Geneva on the 28th of May.  On the way there we hope to stop in  Louisville, KY to see Churchill downs, but other than that we have no plans once we leave the Smokey's.
