I am planning to take a road trip from Michigan to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee with my wife and three kids. I am looking and it appears to be a nine hour drive. I figure if i get up and go around 5am we should be there by at least 3-5pm considering stops etc.
Never been to that area so I was curious how bad is traffic in this area. Will we dread driving down there due to traffic or is it pretty low key?
We plan to go mid-August hoping it will still be warm sunny weather. Does anyone have experience going here via car? Is it a bad idea considering the kiddos are four five and ten?
