The 1st and 2nd is a Monday/Tuesday. it’s about a 12 hour drive. I will leave Friday afternoon and work my way down there site seeing all the way. I will return via the Blue Ridge Parkway stopping at a couple of Civil War battlefields. I might even get a visit in for the Battleship NJ.
Fun Fun Fun.

I'm signed up for 13-14 April. Probably going to spend some time either before or after in Pigeon Forge. I'd love to take the ST on the Tail of the Dragon. Wife might not be so eager since we'll be down there in March with our Shelby for Ponies in the Smokies. She's cool, but ever since a couple on a big Harley swung wide out of a corner a couple years ago, & we almost hit them head-on, the wife isn't too crazy about the Dragon!

We just registered for the first opening in June, we were going to wait until September, but with our daughter's schedule, might be too risky to wait.
We're waiting to get more details about the hotel and confirmation, but, we're planning to fly out there the day of the dinner (hopefully get an early flight) and stay an extra night, to fly out the morning/afternoon after. We wanted to stay longer, but with so many trips we have planned this year, it wasn't financially possible for us.
Any recommendations on places to go for dinner after the driving experience?

You can do a bit of research if you have time. Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg have tons of things to see and do. Dragon is a bit out of the way from there and Asheville. I'd recommend Gatlinburg going up through the Smokey Mountain National Park to Cherokee, where you can then hit the interstate to (or from) Asheville. If you're doing the tour at Vanderbilt, sign up for the "architect's tour". You'll see places inside that aren't open to the public that are fabulous as well as tours of gargoyles and attics that show the construction detail. Highly recommended!
