<p>Here's the loose plan I have, probably won't get more detailed because then it feels too much like work!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1. Take off from Falls Church at 0830. I think meeting up in the iHop parking lot off of 50 and Annandale would work. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>2. Drive for about 3.5 hours and stop for lunch somewhere quick... maybe in Radford or something.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>3. Arrive in Marion ~6 hours after depart, 1430.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>4. We can check in to a hotel, I am thinking the General Franklin, <a href="http://gfmhotel.com/blackrooster/," rel="external nofollow">http://gfmhotel.com/blackrooster/,</a> it's $99 a night. Frankly, I will have just met most of you... you might be creepy. Plus it seems like its a decent place in a populated area so finding a place to grab a drink after we put the kids to bed (... the cars.. not actual kids...) should be easy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>5. Make the Drive up to Tazwell along the Back of the Dragon. It's supposedly an hour.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>6. Dinner in Tazwell. Choices are very limited... seems back-woods VA isn't the hip dineout area like DC. Yelp says this place is good? I'm throwing out some ideas. This is literally the most planning I have ever done for a personal trip! <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/el-mariachi-...north-tazewell" rel="external nofollow">http://www.yelp.com/biz/el-mariachi-...north-tazewell</a> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>7. Sunset cruise back to Marion for some drinks and sleep.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>8. Leave in the AM. I might hit up some of the National Parks for photo ops of nature... not sure yet.</p>
