Traveling:TX to TN

[School Cop]

I'm going to take a rather laid back approach to the family vacation in July. I'm looking for things worth seeing, feasible to do with a 3- and 1-year-old in tow, between roughly Dallas and Nashville. So let's hear it: what can you tell me I HAVE to see or do in your neck of the woods? In other words, what will I miss out on if I just go by the brochures?

Thanks in advance.

Too bad you aren't going further east than Nashville. Dollywood in Gatlinburg is a great place for families.

Anywho, here in Murfreesboro (just south of Nashville), there is the Discovery Museum. Pretty cool place. http://www.discoverycenteronline.org

And of course the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville is always fun...kinda iffy on taking a one year old there though...just depends on the child.
