go to the beaches in texas if yall really want to hit the beach. but if you just scratching all beaches, hit up tennessee. Gatlinburg/ pigeon forge is an awesome vacation. We went last summer and had a great time. But I will say, don't be tempted to hit any of the tourist trap things. If it looks like a blast, go ahead and assume it sucks. The only thing touristy that was fun was the skylift up to the alpine slide and this company does some 4 wheeler rides that have some good views and pretty fun(pricey but considering all the money wasted on stupid attractions, at least you got something from this one). then we hit some old mill settlement for a few hours and that was fun. But honestly the best things about that area are the free things (ie. state parks and things of that nature) all the touristy crap cost a buttload of money and you feel raped after you leave cuz it wasnt even close to being worth it.
