Michigan to Washington D.C
Just reserved our trip in June. Any issues getting to Washington D.C? Probably take Ohio turnpike to Pennsylvania turnpike most of the way there. Looks to be about a 8 hour trip not counting stops. ...

In Ohio if you want to save some money on the tolls you could take Rt-2 over towards Cleveland and catch I-480 around the city to the south. (very similar to busskipper's route but skipping a good section of the tpk) I-480 will eventually drop you down to the turnpike with about 50 or 60 miles left in the state.
**If you really want to avoid the tolls take Rt-2/I-90 all the way through Cleveland and out to the east side and catch Rt-11 south to the TPK (only a few exist from the PA line) or just go over into PA on I-90 and catch I-79 near Erie and go south from there but the toll savings may be eaten up in fuel costs.
I too feel that once you're around Pittsburgh you should drop south towards I-68 and stay off the PA TPK as much as possible.
