Default lots of choices
It only takes us 15 hours straight thru from TV to Columbus, OH, including stops, but if you want to do your trip in 2 days, there are lots of options, depending on what you like to see and do.

My first suggestion would be Tallahassee - very interesting statehouse tour, and look over the FSU campus perhaps. On your way to Tallahassee you could also stop at Tarpon Springs and do a sponge boat tour or just walk around this interesting town with lots of Greek settler influence. We had great baklava at a restaurant there with a view of a marina. Outdoor seating if the weather's nice. There are also lots of nice coastal towns in Florida to stop at. Check out a good Florida guidebook and choose what you like best. Grayton Beach just east of Panama City looks interesting from an ariticle in Southern Living I read. It's on our list for a beach trip once we live in TV.

We are avid travelers and always do a lot of research beforehand thru guidebooks (you can check some out of your local library) and also websites such as Tripadvisor.com and others. You can post specific questions on the appropriate forums and get suggestions you may not have thought of on your own.
