A state park would be a nice getaway, that way the heathens, UH, i mean the children, can have a place to run, fish, play. Maybe even plan a overnighter on a saturday night. Hang around the campfire roasting 'mellos.
There are numerous places overhere on the Tennessee riveer, like, Pickwick Park, all the way up to Land Of the Lakes state park. I think they have a Catfish carnival in Paris, TN.
