Tennessee - the night before

A few months ago at work, I went in to find out how many vacation days I had left before the end of the year. I remember thinking, "oh I have more than a week of days left... wouldn't it be fun to go to Lynchburg someday?" Almost immediately, the following question sparked in my brain: WHAT AM I WAITING FOR?!

I thought about it the rest of the day, and when I came home that night, I decided to "just for fun," look up cabin rentals around Nashville.  One thing led to another, and a week later, I was debating whether or not to book a cabin in Georgia, just south of Chattanooga.  I checked the availability of the place for three days straight before I went in and asked for the days.  Even then, I waited another week before finally making the reservations, the whole time thinking about that question.  After that, planning my few days in the area took a total of 2 hours of searching, but it definitely seemed like something that was just so far away.

Now, I have been packing and planning all week and will be leaving in just over 2 hours.  I'M SO EXCITED!  I am planning on driving for 4 hours and sleeping for about 4 before continuing.  I don't know if I'll be able to sleep in the car or not, but I guess I'll find out!  Hopefully the dogs will do well.

Here's the general route I'm taking:

I'm going to try and only blog, without using Facebook or Twitter at all during the trip.  We'll see how long that lasts...
