Upstate New York to Orlando to Tampa

[UpstateTripper]

My whole extended family (including me, wife, aunts, uncles, grandparents, 6 kids, and 4 teens) lives in different towns in Warren County (Lake George, Diamond Point, Glens Falls, Queensbury, Hudson Falls, and Fort Ann), and in April, we are all heading to Florida for 2 weeks, we will spend the 1st week camping in Orlando and going to all of the parks, and the second week, we will be at our beach house in the Tampa area.

Now, for the way there, we will probably go through the Delmarva peninsula on both the way there and the way back (I don't want to go through the Balto, DC traffic especially because we already have to through the NYC traffic), and are currently deciding which route would be better....

Route 1 - After going down the Chesapeake Tunnel, drive through the NC Outer banks, then take U.S. 17 through the rest of NC (stop at Calabash for some BBQ) then all of SC (but having to go through the Myrtle Beach traffic)

Route 2 - After going down the Chesapeake Tunnel, drive west on the U.S. 58 until I meet the I-95, then go down and stop at "South of the Border".

Also, if theres any other interesting places to stop or any other workable routes, then post here as well.
