What part of Michigan? If you're coming from the Detroit metro my strong preference is to make it through Atlanta the first day. Coming from NE Ohio it's an ~14 hour drive (so 12-13 from Detroit) to the Jackson GA area, several campgrounds and many truck stops to choose from. There's nothing I enjoy less than Atlanta traffic (except perhaps DC traffic) so I'll do almost anything to avoid going through Atlanta during the day.
Its tough to make it thru Atl with the 3 kids as it would be about 15hours in the car after all the stops.
