Beyond New Orleans, Where?

As we depart for New Orleans this morning, the question has become: where to next? We are winding our way to the Philadelphia area, but until now our route has sorta defined itself. Avoid the cold. Go roughly eastward. Seek out beauty, but don’t push too hard.

Once we hit New Orleans for a week, we’ll have some real decisions to make as the number of equally viable routes grows by an order of magnitude. Do we stay as far south as possible until hitting the east coast, then head up? Do we cut up Mississippi and Tennessee and see Graceland? Explore the Ozarks, Appalachia, Bourbon County? See it all and extend our trip by another month?
