My favorite things about all of the SEC states....
Florida - We live there and if it weren't for family, we'd probably never go north of Orlando, unless we were flying somewhere on a trip. Weather permitting, we are usually at the beach or fishing every day. Sometimes both.
Georgia - Love the Golden Isles, Savannah and Catlanta.
South Carolina - Charleston and Hilton Head are really nice, as is the Lowcountry in general and Santee-Cooper has some great fishing. The Greenville & Upstate area in general are nice.
Alabama - I'm guessing Gulf Shores is nice. Lake Weiss and Guntersville have some great fishing.
Mississippi - Love the blues festivals and juke joints in and around Clarksdale.
Arkansas - Helena is right on the river and has some good blues festivals.
Louisiana - New Orleans and food. Would love to attend the crawdad festival at Breaux Bridge sometime. A friend of mine was working for Bell Helicopter back in the late 90's or early 2000's, and was sent to the Lafayette plant to work for a couple of months. He said he gained 18 lbs while working.
Tennessee - Love Nashville. Chatt-nooga is nice. Knoxville has a nice downtown. TVA Lakes are nice. Even Memfuss has music festivals and lots of good places to eat.
Mizzuruh - Been to Cape Girardeau a few times for work. Loved eating at Broussard's, a local Cajun place on the river. Other than that, I couldn't tell you much more.
Kentucky - Beautiful countryside scenery and BBN. Land Between the Lakes area is really nice.
