Points of interest between Illinois and Florida
 

I have a friend that is getting married in March '09 and wants to drive from central Illinois to south Florida making stops along the way.

Any points of interest you guys would recommend. ...and it needs to be wheelshair accessible

sincere responses appreciated but not expected

Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain are really nice and are the halfway point.

Wheeling ,WVa.

I'd highly recommend a mild detour to Chevy Chase, MD for the world's largest rubber band ball.

:D

you've been here before, haven't you??

seriously...smokey mountains are worth a look. i'd have to look on a map for the exact route they'd be taking tho...

as far as once in fla, st augustine has always been a favorite spot of mine.

Don't even need to leave Illinois. Just go hang out at Boner's Sports Bar on the ground floor of the Hilton Springfield....you won't want to leave:tro:

I don't think they smoke.

is it just me or does anyone else find airports utterly fascinating when faced with long trips?

yes, but they want to see fly over country and he has to do all the driving because the van is set up for him only

the last time I stopped in
Chattanooga I was 12 :eek:
good times
