In ~6 weeks I'm moving from SoCal to the DC area. The last time I did this road trip was the reverse trip and I drove a UHaul while towing my car behind. It sucked ass. This time, I'm having my stuff transported and the wife & I are driving our comfy car. I love BBQ and I figure that this is my chance to do it right. We've got ~5-6 days give or take to do it.
I am open to hitting some other non-BBQ stops if they're worthy enough (and to keep my wife from going nuts). We've never been to New Orleans and so a stop there (if the trip keeps us south) might be a possibility.
Here's what I was thinking off the bat. Any advice?
