We drove straight through from Philly to HH. It was long, but definitely doable. We left around 2:30 am and arrived at exactly 2:30 pm. We stopped once for breakfast, again for a quick lunch and once more for a 20-minute nap that was COMPLETELY refreshing. I would do it again the exact same way because we managed to miss am rush hour traffic in Philly, Wilmington, Baltimore/DC and Richmond.
