ok so the plan in Lake Cumberland fell through so I made a new plan. I figure KOAs are gonna keep the kids happy so I used them. Big driving days the first and last day but I can handle it.

columbus
Things I have lined up to do tentatively are Tennessee Aquarium, Cades Cove, Grotto Falls, Clingman's Dome(maybe jump off), Sliding Rock, Luray caverns, Sklyline drive, Campground tubing, and other random things and hiking stops....I've been using roadtrippers to plot the course for estimates on fuel and mileage. Looks like I'm gonna hit about 1700mi and use $500 worth of fuel. Campgrounds totaled $565 but the built in kid entertainment may be worth thousands...lol.
