Chattanooga
Chattanooga can be reached in just under 2 hours, but is chock full of fun to make the round trip worth it. While in Chattanooga, we like to –
- River Gallery Sculpture Garden
- Antique shopping at Knitting Mill Antiques
- Sip brews at Heaven & Ale or Terminal Brewhouse
- See the fishes at the Chattanooga Aquarium
Nashville
You know where Nashville is. It doesn’t have to be a place you only visit because you bought tickets to something. Go and spend the day eating, exploring and shopping! Some of our fav spots are –
- Dinner at Pinewood Social
- Midtown shopping and bar hopping
- Drinks at Flying Saucer
Mentone
Mentone, AL is a tiny town about an hour and a half from Huntsville, very close to the Georgia state line. You may have noticed Mentone if you take the “over-the-mountain” route to Atlanta. Check out –

- Log Cabin Village Shops
Guntersville
Our favorite little town by the river, that’s less than an hour over the hill and around the bend! A fun way to spend the day in Guntersville includes –
