Ok - so here is a bit of a different viewpoint - there is one in every crowd.
I am OK with the GWB (I like Tpop's advice on traffic checks) - but I really like to avoid 95 as much as possible. There is way too much of an issue around NY, no NJ, the Delaware Bridge, Baltimore, DC....
Instead we take 287 to route 78/80 across PA to Harrisburg. We then take a "left" onto route 81 into WV and VA and follow it to Route 77 in NC. Route 77 connects into 85 which takes you to Atlanta where it merges with 75 that you can follow to TV.
Atlanta is the only place you hit traffic and it can be easily managed by deciding when you want to do the short/long days. Mapquest will tell you this is longer - but it can be a huge timesaver due to traffic - which Mapquest doesn't factor in. It is also a beautiful and much more relaxing drive.
Lots of pet-friendly hotels as well and far fewer tolls.
PS - we have made this trip a lot to our daughter's when she was at Clemson and when she movw to ATL.
