A visit to Tennessee means experiencing good food, good fun and an all-round good time. After checking in at a Johnson City hotel there are several different options that await you. For those looking to spend some time laid back with a good book, it might be time to find out if room service is available or toss on a swimsuit and head out to the pool. If you are looking to get out there and see the sights, bring a pair of walking or running shoes because there is a lot of area to cover during your stay. Finally, if you just aren't sure what you want to do, take some time to look into some of the special sights and attractions that Tennessee has to offer and decide which options most pique your interest.

If you consider yourself a connoisseur of music, it may be the Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion that is bringing you down to Tennessee. This festival takes place on the third weekend in September each year and the participants are as varied as the audience members. You can experience local talent as well as those that travel from all over the country to entertain the crowds and get their music out there. If you just can't make it in September, there is no need for the music lover to be disappointed. There are all types of concerts going on at this same location throughout the year, including a full round of entertainment in the month of June.

Adults and children alike will want to stop by and visit the International Storytelling Center. Start out at the visitor center where you can learn more about what you can do and see during your time here. There are several exhibits to browse through and most of the time from May to October you will be able to listen to a live storyteller. The center focuses on the idea that storytelling is an important form of communication that should not be lost in the midst of advancing technology and less and less actual conversation between people. In October, the National Storytelling Festival is held in the center and there are several activities that you will be encouraged to participate in.

Listening to a story or a concert is a great way to pass the time outside of your Johnson City hotel, but there are other choices for those with a little more sense of adventure. Tennessee has plenty of opportunities for you to experience the outdoors. If you bring along your hiking boots, the local residents will direct you straight to the Buffalo Mountain Park. Here you can take in about fifteen miles of hiking and some of the most beautiful scenery around. Bird watchers and photography enthusiasts alike will find all types of opportunities within this area of the state.

Within Johnson City, there are several different public parks and pools (indoor and outdoor) to choose from. If the kids just need some time to get that extra energy out, pack up a lunch and head out to enjoy a picnic right in the middle of a bright patch of green grass. You may even want to take in a sporting event at Roosevelt Memorial Stadium. Relax together as a family at any one of these locations and take a break from all of the attractions that surround you.

Boone Lake also tends to draw a crowd when it comes to both residents and visitors. Rent a vessel and take the family out on the water for the day. You can bring your swimsuits and get in a little sunbathing or just bring a book and music to listen to. Either way, this is another great way to pass the time together. When you come back in from the water, you can have a meal at the Runabout Café. It may not look like much, but the food is amazing and you can usually enjoy your meal with some live entertainment in the background.

When you make a reservation at a Johnson City hotel, you are setting yourself up for a vacation that every member of your family will enjoy. Whether you just want to relax and spend time together or you want to run yourselves all over the state of Tennessee looking for adventure and fun, you will be sure to be thrilled with your choice of location.
