hey all,
heading down next weekend to Williamsburg for the weekend. Going to drive the M3 so I would prefer to not spend the entire trip on rt. 95 pulling my hair out. Thinking of staying along the coast on the way down.

anyone have any good routes or road/food stops to head down that way??

Thanks for the input.

I dont have much input since I live on the other side of the country, but good luck. Was just over there two months ago for a wedding, we spent hours on that road.

rt 95 between DC and Richmond can suck my balls, especially in the M3 which doesnt have cruise control.....I will avoid at all costs.

Rt. 301 is a nice ride. Lots of countryside, small towns and farms. You might get to test the handling a bit, but there aren't any long straight stretches to open it up. 301 doesn't hit 95 until just north of Richmond. I haven't driven it in years, but it used to be a very lightly traveled road.

looking at rt 2 to 301 to rt 17 in VA towards Williamsburg, VA.

That section of 95 is horrible. When I am heading to Charleston SC from Frederick I always go through leesburg and hit up rt 17. go through warrenton to get to 95 down around Fredericksburg.

Have a good trip!

Another wedding Sniz?

stay off of 95, stupid state police are doing a blitz for the next few weeks. Take the route we take to get to MIR, and then cross over to VA from there

This is a good plan. My parents live just off 301 and I always take that route to VA beach or OBX. Rt 17 is a nice scenic drive that gets you away from crappy 95 and 64 traffic. You do go through some small towns, but you also drive right along the water a bit. I took this drive in my mustang vert a few years ago and loved it. Still gotta watch out for cops though.


I guess another option would be going out 50 and heading south across the bay bridge/tunnel, but you'd hit all the beach traffic that way.

301 is what a lot us are planning to take to get from the Hampton Roads area (Va Beach / Norfolk / Newport News) up to MPACT as well as Bimmerfest East...
