We will stay on I-95 to keep it simple and fast.

Our first stop for a night's rest will be off the Beltway in Alexandria (Washington) at a Marriott Courtyard after about 612 miles and 10.5 hours. This could be an interesting day with three children in the back!

On day two we will drive all the way to MB. It's about 433 miles or 7.2 hours.
