[quote=Anonymous]Am I crazy if I try to leave Arlington at 11am?  I know 95S will have traffic and that we won't just breeze there in 3.5 hours.  But...how bad will it really be?  Will the worst part be getting to Richmond?  How long are the backups?  Has anyone attempted this?  I'd be ok if it takes us say, 5 hours instead of 3.5 hours.  However not really sure if we can handle more than that since we have small kids.

The 301 route is possible too, but seems to guarantee a 5.5 hour or more ride.

The house we are renting doesn't allow check in before 4pm and killing time with a 20 month old and an almost-4 year old during the heat of the day and prime nap time is an issue, which is why I don't want to leave at 7am.  Trying to keep them occupied between noon and 4pm, when normally they are sleeping from 1-3pm, seems daunting.  Before the younger was born we did the zoo in Norfolk and it was SO HOT and miserable walking around.

Any thoughts?  We may just wait until Sunday am and leave as early as possible.  That way the rest of the group will have checked in and settled and we'll arrive before lunch.  I just hate missing a day because of traffic!
