Vacation to pick up a car -- any thoughts?

[slotter]

We're flying from Omaha, NE to Greensboro, North Carolina next week to pick up a new car bought on eBay. No dealers here could touch the price on the new 2005 Camry offered there.

Anyhow, decided to take my wife and daughter along and make the trip home with the new car a mini-vacation. We will be spending a night in Omaha, flying on to Greensboro, traveling through West Virginia (hotel in Charleston) and then another hotel in Peoria, IL before heading back home to Iowa through Omaha.

It's beautiful countryside, but am not really familiar with the areas as mainly have lived in the south and west all my life. Any thoughts on places to stop and see? Any thoughts at all, or should we just hightail it and get the heck back home?

I'd make a stop in Nashville. Bound to be something of interest there.

Any vendors between there and home? Maybe you can pick up a machine or two on the way home!

If you are traveling up 95, you can stop at JR Tobacco. Largest importer of cigars in the US. Here is one of there locations.

From South • I-95 to Exit 97.
• Make left at top of exit ramp and go over bridge.
• Make right onto JR Road.

I hear that West Virgina was where the tooth brush was invented. THere might be a museum.

I believe this as if the tooth brush was invented anywhere else it would have been called a Teeth Brush (LOL).
