Are you talking 2 very long days or 3 shorter days? Nashville would be a rather long day. It seems to be 20 hours by the most direct route. The end of the second day would be near Macon Georgia on a 3 day trip.
We are thinking 3 shorter days. What would you recommend in Macon Georgia?
Look up the Cannonball House plus any of these that might interest you http://www.planetware.com/tourist-attractions-/macon-us-ga-ma.htm
Anybody else want to help with this?
