Good morning all,
My family and I will be departing on a road trip 10/26 from Providence, RI to arrive in Pittsburgh, PA for an appointment around noon on 10/28.
I am looking for some advice on whether to take I-80W, I-76W or perhaps some other variation. It looks like this will be about a 9-10 hour drive, and with a van full of kids, I'm planning to make the trip a 2 day travel. Ideally we'd travel 5-7 hours on Saturday, stay overnight, a couple more hours Sunday and be in Pittsburgh for Sunday night so there are no concerns with making the appointment. On the way back, I'm thinking depart Pittsburgh immediately on Monday (especially since there is Monday Night Football in town), and travel a few hours, stay overnight, and complete the round-trip on Tuesday.
Since we'll be splitting the trip, I don't think time is a major factor, unless it's drastic. The cheaper the tolls the better. I prefer an easier drive with less traffic, and less worrying about safety due to congestion.
So I am looking for some recommendations on the following:
- I-80W or I76W from Providence to Pittsburgh?
- Recommendations on a city/town on the way to split the travel?
- Any ideas for kid activities?
- I-80W or I76W from Pittsburgh to Providence?

Thank you in advance,
