Washington DC alternative routes?
We are looking at 2 routes around DC to avoid the beltline and 75 as much as possible. We will be arriving at Cherry Hill from Williamsburg, VA. Would it work if we took 3/33 to 17 to 301/3 to 50/...

As someone who lives in Haymarket, 15 to 29 out to Luray or to Charlottesville is easy peasy. Haymarket to Gettysburg, easy. Haymarket to points south on 95, using US 17 as a cut off, easy. Haymarket to Cherry Hill during rush hours makes me want to slit my wrists. Seriously, if I have an appointment in Baltimore in the morning, I'll stay overnight in Maryland, rather than do the drive. Bull Run campground (Centerville) is nice. There is a campground in Haymarket (traffic out to haymarket at rush hour is bad) -- I think they changed it to a Yogi Bear -- if you stay there, wave when you drive by my house!.
Your entire schedule seems to be more aimed at Northern Virginia and there are tons of commuting options out of Centreville or Reston (where there is a county park that is close to the Metro) if you are wanting to do sightseeing in DC. If there isn't something compelling for going to Cherry Hill, I'm not sure I would haul all that way there, if you are looking at Shenandoah, Leesburg, Gettysburg, Luray, Williamsburg and back south. I sure as beans wouldn't tow there at any time other than 11-2. But I hate traffic.
