Now I’m rethinking my route and wanted to see what you all think is best/fastest. I don’t know whether to take the inland route of 81-77-95 or 95 most of the way.
We live close to the NY/PA border so we are thinking of two options for our trip down:
- leave on Sunday afternoon (around 1ish) and knock out a few hours to get through PA until dinner time then stop for the night.
OR
- leave around 3am Monday morning and do a majority of travel Monday before stopping for the evening.
I guess my biggest concern is traffic on 95 around DC. We’ve driven years ago and I remember that being a nightmare. But I know it all depends on timing. We are also traveling with a 2.5 year old so the faster the better.
ETA: It looks like it’s about 5 hours from our home to DC so leaving on a Monday at 3am would put us right in the middle of the commuter traffic so that’s not a good idea if we took 95.
