I know it's like 60 miles longer from N. VA, but the Turnpike is really expensive, and I just loathe driving on it.

Indianapolis has a world-class Children's Museum and may be worth a stop. Columbus has a great one as well (COSI) as well as a fantastic zoo (with water park) that wouldn't be too far of a detour from I-70.

Well, no reason I can't take the "northern" route one way and the "southern" route the other way. Thanks for the tip. According to Google Maps, taking the OH/IN Turnpike (I assume that's I-80) takes about an hour less time.

Can you define "really expensive"? And, yes, I'm driving from the D.C. area.
