Day 5 Nashville- Chicago

Perhaps the biggest factor in drawing visitors to Nashville is its association with country music, however, the “Music City” as the capital of the state is also a perfect place to conclude your visit in Tennessee.  Mammoth Cave National Park preserves the cave system and a part of the Green River valley and hilly country of south central Kentucky. This is the world's longest known cave system, with more than 390 miles explored.

You may be wondering if you are in Michigan or Europe.  Dutch Village is a step back into the Netherlands of over 100 years ago, complete with authentic Dutch architecture, flowering gardens, canals and windmills.  If you love the joy and excitement of the Christmas season, then enjoy those special feelings all year long at Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland, where everything and every day is Christmas! Frankenmuth, nicknamed "Little Bavaria", draws over three million tourists annually to its Bavarian-themed shops and restaurants such as Frankenmuth Brewery.

Day 7 Detroit- Chicago/ Hometown

Motown. The Motor City. The D. Whatever you call it, Detroit is a dynamic, diverse city with an intriguing history. It's a place of people and places, trends and events, world-changing inventions and groundbreaking music. Long known as the automobile capital of the world, Detroit is also famous for its distinctive Motown music sound from the 1960s.  A visit to Henry Ford Museum makes it hard to imagine an industry that shaped a culture as much as the auto industry shaped America’s in the 20th century.
