If you're driving through Chattanooga you have to stop at Sugar's Ribs. This has been lauded one of the best (if not the best) barbecue restaurant in the USA. And for good reason. Everything is delicious - the beef, pork and chicken. Yes, the ribs are amazing and the selection of BBQ sauces is a fun adventure. The view is spectacular, too.
Don't miss it. Sugar's is one of those terrific roadside stops that make the "Great American Road Trip" so delicious.

Adventure Woman Loves the National Corvette Museum!
Just an hour outside Nashville is the National Corvette Museum. I always advocate checking out the museums along a road trip, but this museum is really an outstanding attraction.
Not only are the cars amazing - spectacular - beautiful. But the displays are extremely well done and places the cars in historical context. Many of the cars are accompanied by pictures of their celebrity owners inside the vehicle. The thoughtful exhibitions really give a wonderful framework to dream within...
Whether you are a Corvette junkie, a classic car officiado,or just love the speed and sleek lines of sports cars this is the museum for you. I can't recommend it highly enough. This is a great way to combine history, pop culture and artistic design into an exciting educational experience. The kids will love it (and so will you).

Adventure Woman Loves Nashville!
Broadway Street in downtown historic Nashville is always bustling with music, drink, dancing and general good-natured frivolity. The bright guitar and cowboy boot shaped neon signs of the honky-tonk joints are seductive calling cards to the hell-raising music and free flowing booze inside. I had a great time drinking and wondering in and out of all of the super cute little bars.
You’ll find thick crowds but high spirits swaying and singing along to the live country music. I had a great time singing along to the tunes. No, I can't sing, but everyone joins in and you really can't hear anybody - including yourself.
The saloon walls are cluttered with memorabilia of country history and visiting legends, and it’s easily to become immersed in the colorful décor of these glorious little bars. I actually had a fantastic time wondering around the Honky Tonks taking in the history. Its interesting and entertaining while you listen to the bands and drink your Jack Daniels (or soda pop)
You’ll find signatures of the famous (and not so famous) scribbled on walls and doors. Yes, I even wrote AdventureWoman.com was here!
Try to hit Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge (422 Broadway), and Legends Corner (428 Broadway). And while you’re in the area visit Nashville’s most eminent country music store. Ernest Tubb Records (417 Broadway) has been doing business for over half a century and broadcasts the Midnight Jamboree (the second-longest running radio show in history).
An evening on Broadway Street in Nashville will be an unforgettable experience. Lots of people on the honky-tonk scene dress in country attire which makes the atmosphere even more fun so don’t be afraid to wear your denim skirt with your favorite boots and sparkling cowgirl hat. I wasn't fully decked out but wore a denim jacket over my dress. Next time I'll have a cowgirl hat and a queen-size belt buckle.
It is like a little country Las Vegas in that it's just brimming with fun, booze, music and unforgettable excitement. A terrific place to party country style.
