We're doing Aces High in East Lyme CT next month. Looks like a nice place.
Where are you staying on the Cape?
I'd love to be able to talk you out of your proposed route. I-95 is a miserable road. They're still rebuilding the I-95/I-91 interchange (going on 20 years now), and I-95 from there is 2 lanes. When a truck gets into the passing lane, the whole road backs up.
Last time we came home from PA, we took I-84 to Rt 7 in CT south to New London. Much better ride.
I've strongly considered going 84 and coming down Route 9 to New London (I think 7 runs Danbury to Norwalk, so not sure that helps me), but it's over 20 miles out of the way. 84 as I remember it doesn't have a ton of late night activity in terms of truck stops and places to pull over either. I'm banking that nighttime helps the traffic misery on 95. I guess if I'm listening to traffic, I'll make a last minute diversion if 95 seems bad.
We're staying at Atlantic Oaks on Cape Cod. Got a lot of great reviews on here, and it backs up to the bike path, which will be nice for us with the kids.
I contemplated the casino - thought it was further off the highway, that might be a place to consider. Walmart is also a good choice....
