Hi All, we are planing a family trip to Washington d.c. (will stay in Arlington VA). We plan to leave after the 4th of July week-end.
We are 2 adults and 1 boy (10 yo). Since its a long drive to do in one shot (10 hours drive, we did Boston two years ago and it was clearly the limit). I need advice on place to stop and stay for one night on both way of our round trip. Kid likes interactive activities, arcades etc... Wife likes shopping... and I like my wife and kids so if they are happy I'll be too ;-)

1st thought is to stop somewhere near Philadelphia or Wildwood on the way to Washington and make a stop somewhere in NH (near by outlets...) All suggestions are welcome...

Recommendations on place to eat on the way are also welcome...

I also would appreciate route advice, I want to avoid toll road and wouldn't mind add mileage and time to take some scenic route...

Thanks,

Phil
