While in Memphis pay a visit to one of many local BBQ places where you can experience real Memphis BBQ.

Chattanooga holds a special place in my heart! The beauty here and prime location along the Tennessee River makes it a great vacation spot packed with many things to experience! So, lets talk about attractions, a few of my favorites are to visit Ruby Falls, Lookout Mountain (Technically in Georgia), and the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum! Another great location to visit while there is the Tennessee Aquarium.
Gatlinburg
Known as the “Gateway to the Smoky Mountains” this town is a prime location for vacation-goers everywhere! Nearby, you can pay a visit to Dollywood, visit The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, or visit the new Gatlinburg Sky Bridge.
