I've done that Memorial Day Friday before, and it's no picnic, either.
There's too many people driving that day for it to be good any where.

210 has a ton of lights. 301 eventually goes to 2 lanes past La Plata.

I agree with Mike L.

This. Although occasionally the 301 bridge over the Potomac gets backed up, it's a nice drive and never as much as a shitstorm as 95.

We are leaving about 9 a.m. on Friday. It's always hell but we've never tried morning; we usually go after 7 p.m. We're coming back early Monday morning.
