That might be a bit much with a couple of kids for sure.
You likely will have traffic issues in Nashville and again in Chattanooga coming down Monteagel mountain and thru town to I-75. Traffic will run pretty goo until you reach the Atlanta suburbs. Aoubt ten miles out from I-285 it begins to pickup voulume. MY advice is to stay on I-75 and leave the loop alone. You will also leave the trucks on the loop. Stay away from the left and right lanes - try to maintain center. Watch ahead because we have some exits on that section *I-285 to Downtown Connector* that exit on the left and then you are forced to turn left or right at the top on a bridge. TERRIBLE engineeering move there.
Maintain lanes away from the right and run with the traffic. Despite what you may read, Atlanta drivers will help you change lanes but you must signal with plenty of warning.
TRy to come thru after 10 AM and before 4PM, or after 7-8 PM. Pay attention and you will have a safe passage.
