Romantic Tennessee

Take the scenic route to your lover's heart in Tennessee. When people think of the Volunteer State, they often conjure images as diverse as romantic paddlewheelers, high-stepping Tennessee Walking Horses, and smooth sippin' Tennessee sour mash whiskey. Much more than just a travel guide to Lover's Lane, this book is the perfect companion to finding something romantic to do in Tennessee with your special someone. From the banks of the Mighty Mississippi in the western delta area of the state to the soaring Smoky Mountains in the east, this guide provides well-known and off-the-beaten path attractions as well as something for every age, budget, and season of the year—-from a few stolen moments to week-long getaways. Here's just a sampling:

* Book a berth on the historic Delta Queen for leisurely multiple-night cruises on the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers

* Walk hand in hand to the wailing sound of the blues along Memphis's Beale Street

* Snuggle up under the stars at Newport's Christopher Place, an intimate resort deep in the Smoky Mountains

* Cut your very own recording at Nashville's You're the Star Recording Studio

* Follow the course of the Tennessee River from its origins as a mountain brook in Tennessee all the way to the Gulf of Mexico at Chattanooga's Tennessee Aquarium
