Travel to the perfect multi-generational destination , Nashville Tennessee . Autumn temperatures are dropping and many Tuscaloosa schools will take a fall break .

Get ready for the kids to belt out present-day country tunes on the way .
The key to a successful multi-generational trip is finding something for everyone , and we found the perfect mix . Nashville has rightfully earned the name “ Music City ,” where there are dozens of attractions and venues for music lovers of all ages . Here , your kids can write a song , watch an exhilarating game of hockey , get up close to Meerkats , and travel to the stars at a state-of-the-art planetarium . There is also a replica from Greece to explore and numerous famous museums to visit . Make plans now to visit a place where the music never stops--Nashville , Tennessee .
EMBASSY SUITES : DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE First , secure reservations at Embassy Suites Downtown located at 708 Demonbreun Street . Here , you will be centrally located with a 5-minute walk to Bridgestone Arena , Broadway , and the Ryman Auditorium . Valet your car at the hotel , and , if grandparents get tired , simply select the Lyft app on your phone ; and in minutes , your ride will be waiting . Our Embassy Suites room was an expansive Panoramic Corner Suite with floor-to-ceiling walls of glass . The skyline at night was mesmerizing , and , with a touch of a switch , the luxurious drapes opened and closed automatically .
There is a comfortable pull-out sofa for the kids , and the primary suite is huge with a great view of the skyline .
