Quote:My advice would be to spend just a couple of days in Vegas.  While there, you might want to take a short detour to Hoover Dam.

 

First day of travel by car you could start traveling east and perhaps see the Grand Canyon.  If you are still up for driving a bit more, then maybe keep traveling east to get to Albuquerque, N.M.  Albuquerque is on old route 66, and also has a pretty nice Indian Cultural Center that might be of interest.  There is actually a lot more to see in New Mexico, and if time permits, stay a couple of days.  Some examples are Carlsbad Caverns, White Sands and Trinity Site.

 

From Albuquerque it's a full day's drive (about 8 hours) to get to Oklahoma City, Ok.  There are a few sites to see there including the monument erected after the Oklahoma City Federal building bombing, a pretty cool place to try different kinds of soda and a few pretty cool museums.  Like in New Mexico, I would stay maybe a couple of days and do some exploring.

 

Next continue east on I-40 to Memphis.  Of course, while in Memphis you are probably going to Graceland.  Spend an evening on Beale Street and check out the blues clubs.

 

From Memphis, it's a short drive to Nashville where there is a lot to do and see.  At the very least I would recommend checking out The Grand 'Ole Oprey.

 

Once you leave Nashville, drive to Jacksonville and spend at least a few days in the area.  Nearby is St. Augustine, Daytona and a "short drive" (about 2.5 hours) to Orlando where you have Disney, Sea World, etc.  You also aren't too far from Kennedy Space Center.

 

Good luck with your trip and congratulations in advance on your wedding.
