Wow! Just checked back in and there are a lot of great suggestions here. I believe you have talked me out of going to the Grand Canyon. Just not enough time in 10 days. So, we have decided to go to the Smokey Mountains/Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area. This will allow for the most time enjoying one another's company and seeing sites and hiking.
I really appreciate your input. It is great to rely on other people's experience and not have to make the same mistakes.
Any MUST SEEs in the Smokey Mountains?
We love Lake Toxaway and Hilton Head - both are surprisingly fun around Thanksgiving - not that far from each other and both are easy from Atlanta - throw in Asheville and the Biltmore you have a bit of variety and a great vacation.
Personally I’d precook most of the Thanksgiving meal and enjoy it on the road - leaving with the crowds on Wednesday after work - adding a couple days to the vacation and allowing the loop to be completed.
Think you are on the right track with less long days of driving and more long days of FUN!
It is surprising how many people we talk with who rave about the time they’ve had in those locations. Last note is other than the Biltmore, this allows you will stay away from Crowds - during this Covid times that will be important.
Best of luck,
