Thanks for the responses.
As you can imagine, there are no historic civil war sites in Michigan. Although we will be 3 hours away from Chickamauga Battlefield when at the Smokies, it will be the closest we are ever going to be to civil war sites. And when you've driven 12 hours and gone through 4 states, what's 3 more hours to do something very unique. Or at least unique to those Michigander's.
Also, I have a friend that went to both the Gatlinburg and the Chattanooga aquarium and said that the Gatlingburg isn't worth the cost of admission compared to the Chattanooga. Apparently Chattanooga was rated the top in the nation. Again, not sure how great it is because we have never been there.
I don't want to do both aquariums, but I figure if I want to see the battlefield, I can please the kids with the aquarium and maybe we'll all learn a little something. ;-)
We have a week of vacation in Tennessee, so this should take up 1 day and we will still have 6 more days to explore the Smokies.
