tennesseeboy Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 In addition to Dollywood, the Smoky Mountain National Park is one of the most visited, if you like all that nature crap. The Blue Ridge Mountains and Appalachian Trail aren't too far away either. It is a bit of a haul for a long weekend though. I think the Sundowner is probably the best choice.
KRC Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 I hear Camden is nice this time of year. It may be a little farther than you want to drive (slightly outside of the 5hr spec), but Philly has a bunch if historical-type stuff for the kiddies.

Isn't there some big space museum in Tenn also? (too lazy to look it up)
olivier in france Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 You can go down to Atlantic City enjoy the coast and the casinos, stop at the HOF at Cooperstown on the way there then on your way back Philadelphia and Gettysburgh...
Phil Indablanc Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Isn't there some big space museum in Tenn also? (too lazy to look it up) You're probably thinking about the one in Huntsville Alabama. Great place if you happen to be in Huntsville but in about 2 hours the kids will be bored and in about 3 hours so will you.

Only interesting things in that area: the Shiloh Battlefield and the Jack Daniel's distillery. Well in fact the road from the blues bars of Memphis to the Chatanooga battlefield via Shiloh and Lynchburg makes a nice trip.

And it's too far for our Buffalo based roaming gnome anyway.
udonkey Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 The Cincinnati Redlegs are in town Friday, Saturday, & Sunday for a series vs. the Brewers. Much like the others though, Kings Island will be not open until next month. Plenty of other stuff to do in Cincy - ~400 miles from Orchard Park.

Like eat at the restaurants on the river in Kentucky. Hell just go to Kentucky.
Philly McButterpants Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Williamsburg is good, but a fairly long drive. Kings Dominion is open on weekends, a little north of richmond. probably better rides than BG, but nothing else there to do. Golf and restaurants in Williamsburg are all good. DC is an option as well, there is the park over in Maryland that maybe open on weekends, I forget whats its called. but catch a Nats game, Caps are in the playoffs, Wizard basketball, plus you have the monuments. Supposed to be in the 80s by the weekend. The pope is in DC (as am I on business) and traffic is expected to be worse than usual . . . Normally, I'd say DC cuz ecerything cool is free, but not this week . . .
taterhill Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Like go to the tittie bars in Kentucky. we went to a place called Kentucky's FInest about 10 years ago...if that was their finest, I fell sorry for anyone in Kentucky....they looked like out of work school librarians

I remember driving by it on the highway, but did not have time to stop.

If you like artcraft remember Gettysburg is more or less in the middle of amish country. You can stop at one of their shops... And if you like more history places, Antietam and Harper's Ferry are great places to see on your way south to DC from Gettysburg. who do the Phillies play sunday?
John Adams Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 http://www.bigmooseinn.com Middle of the Adirondacks. Great hiking. Nice hotel. Good food. No bugs this time of year. I can't think of a better place. Wish I lived closer.
