Another option depending on how much free time you have is to drive down to Chattanooga. If you have never been there it is a really neat town to visit. There is the worlds largest fresh-water aquarium, the Chattanooga Choo-choo, Rock City, Ruby Falls, etc.
Plus if you are a Jack Daniels fan, you will be only about 1.5 hours away from the distillery. They have great tours and a rich history there in Lynchburg. (Though they do not give out free JD samples. Something about insurance problems.
