My parents and I will be driving down to Gatlinburg at the end of the month with a couple of days spent in Nashville. Are there any "can't miss" attractions or experiences in both locations that you can list for me? I am in the process of putting an itinerary together for us. Thank you in advance.

I am planning a trip for next year sept. for my adult family of 6. We can not decide if we should go to tennesse or virgina. Each has it's interest.We want to get a cabin but not in the montains to far away from attractios. In our travels we would like to take a day or two to go to Washington DC. realizing we will have to drive a distance.We would also like to plan a trip for white water rafting, site seeing Willamsburg, maybe get to Dollywood. These are ideas being thrown out there. I was thinking Pigion Forge. Would this be a good in between place for all or some of things I mentioned.Were would you suggest we stay.
