Avoiding DC
My favorite route because it is very scenic, but not necessarily the shortest, is to cut over to Virginia Beach from I-95, go through the Chesapeake Bay Tunnel, up through Maryland (Ocean City) into Delaware and take the Lewes Ferry to Cape May, NJ and then up the Garden State Parkway. It's a very pretty drive if you have the time and sure beats the heavy traffic. You do need to look up ferry schedules and best to make a reservation for the time you want.
