Now there's a word combination I never expected to see on this life: Scarlett and seedy motels.
Unless I missed it, I did not see whether you'll be travelling on a weekday or weekend. On a weekday, heading south out of DC, traffic will be a mess until well after 7PM. I'd have a good dinner somewhere on the north side of DC then barrel on trhough to Richmond in the late evening.
On a weekend, you should be able to breeze on through, barring storms or accidents.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
We will look into reserving a Residence Inn. Somewhere into NC. I don't want to regret not getting farther when we get back into that car on the second day.
Pup is a Standard Poodle.
We will be on the road as soon as the movers drive away! I do wish we could put the car in the truck and go with them~sigh~
The Yankee has the lead foot
But I have been known to zoom along the highway myself, having lived in California and practiced fast driving on the San Diego Freeway at 2 in the morning ... hee hee...
postergirl, I believe DWooddon said it well ! Seedy and Scarlett just don't go together, thanks anyway~ Besides, Pup would never forgive me!
Patrick, I have heard about how long one has to drive just to get OUT of Florida!! Don't forget, that drink is in our future~
You have all been soo helpful, thanks so much!

*PS* Beanbag/Postergirl, surely you have something better to do with your time than to follow me around on Fodors?
Thank you for the attention, Lord knows, Scarlett loves attention, but I think your attention must be needed somewhere else.
Ciao~

???? maybe you need a break from packing, you asked for the help. packing can be a bust, I know from our recent move to delaware. anyway, if you dont know nc, that area is rural, kind of rough, and residence inns arent up to the standard you may be used to. suggest you stop in the richmond area, we can offer one or two decent places that take dogs. sorry you feel the need to insult people who try to help you.

Yikes! What will you do with the Pup when you get to Jax and the house is not finished, Miss Scarlett! Maybe you've got a plan for a dog-friendly hotel in Jax. Not to worry. Florida loves travelers with all sorts of attachments. Dogs, Yankees, fodorites. We take just about anybody down here, but we're specially pleased when we get some good ones.
Be careful on the highways. This goes for all you holiday travelers as well.

Tandoori Girl,
The Pup in Florida is no problem, we have a really nice hotel near the house that is ready and waiting for all of us .. although, the house is supposed to be ready by then.
GoTravel, thanks! I think it will all be fine and the worst that can happen, aside from bad weather, is that we will have to drive longer than we feel like, but there is that lovely house waiting at the end of the trip, and that lovely weather...so we will be just fine~
Thank you all for being sooo helpful and for all the good wishes!~
