The Lineup: Georgia's Border Buddies
North Carolina and Tennessee: Mountain Mamas and Moonshine
Crave some bluegrass tunes and breathtaking Appalachian views? Then these two northern neighbors are your jam! Tennessee boasts the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Dollywood's theme park thrills (Dolly Parton, anyone?), and of course, the birthplace of country music itself, Nashville. North Carolina offers its own brand of mountain magic with Asheville's craft breweries, the Outer Banks' stunning coastline, and a healthy dose of history at Kitty Hawk, where the Wright Brothers took flight. Just be warned, these states might make you want to trade your sweet tea for some moonshine (but maybe skip the actual moonshine, okay?).South Carolina: Lowcountry Luxe and History
Head east and you'll find South Carolina, where the charm factor is turned up to eleven. Charleston, with its cobblestone streets and rainbow-colored houses, will have you feeling like you've stepped into a postcard. History buffs will love exploring Fort Sumter, the site of the first shots of the Civil War. And if you're looking for a beach escape, Myrtle Beach beckons with its kitschy charm and endless supply of mini-golf courses (because who doesn't love a good putt-putt challenge?).Florida: The Sunshine State Spills the Sweet Tea Georgia's southern neighbor is all about sunshine, beaches, and, well, more beaches. Theme parks like Disney World and Universal Studios bring out the kid in everyone, while Miami's Art Deco flair and sizzling nightlife will have you shaking your tail feathers. Just remember, Florida comes with a side of humidity that could make a Georgia summer blush.
Alabama: Down-Home Hospitality and College Football Crazy Head west and you'll find Alabama, where Southern hospitality reigns supreme. Explore the state capital, Montgomery, a key player in the Civil Rights Movement. Or, if you're a college football fanatic, soak up the crimson tide at a University of Alabama game (just don't wear orange, trust us). Alabama also boasts beautiful beaches along the Gulf Coast and some seriously delicious barbecue.
