I'm leaving northern VA tomorrow AM. A school conflict has my son unable to make it, so it's just me.
If anyone is driving down tomorrow AM and wants to caravan, let me know. hoping to take the RT29 path.

from northern VA the trip down on rt 29 is supposedly only 10-12 min more than I95/85, and 29 is a lot nicer than the interstate(s). that would be my preffered route. open to meeting up with folks along the way.
