Hey guys and gals,
Me and my buddy are doing an east coast road trip. I am flying into IAD from SAN on JetBlue (my first time, and it's a redeye flight too.) Get into IAD at 6:30am, picking my buddy up from his house, then making our way south to Virginia Beach/Norfolk for 2 nights. Also going to check out the Outer Banks, Wilmington, NC, Mrytle Beach, SC and Savannah, GA.
Does anyone have any recommendations on things to do/see out there? We are talking about stopping at South of the Border on the way back.

South of the Border takes about an hour to see.
IMHO, no east coast trip is complete without a stop in New York City. You may want to take a swing through western Virginia through Shenendoah Valley. The scenary is nothing short of amazing.

Was there in October. Had so much fun. Ready to go back when my buddy goes home. Free place to stay.

Very good to know. Will probably end up taking I-95 up from GA back to VA. I've never driven on the east coast so it might be driving in the slow lane. Don't know how the troopers work in those parts of the country.

Was in DC back in December. Did all the touristy stuff already.

If you can, avoid I-95 northbound in VA from Richmond to Fredericksburg on the weekends, especially Sundays. It's a miserable parking lot most of the time.
And if you take the I-295 bypass around Richmond (good idea) watch out for the State Police. Also on I-64 from Richmond to Newport News. They are very crafty on both of those stretches.
