I literally just choked on my water.

You clearly haven't driven through Nashville, my friend.

Especially coming from Clarksville to wherever on 24 East. *dies* There's almost -always- an accident, or construction, and people driving like idiots.

Also, foa is right! The drive through Knoxville up to NC -is- really pretty. ^_^ You go kinda through the uber touristy Sevierville/Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area (don't you? It's been years since I've made that trip).

@foa: really? There's gonna be a 26? Lord.

Oh, and my parents -love- Washington state! They used to go to Port Hadlock (whatever base is up there) a lot and eat Port Hadlock oysters and sit on the beach with the dogs and whatnot.
