Taking a trip, any suggestions for stops?

So a few friends and I are going to be taking a trip to D.C. in a few weeks and just stopping at various places along the way to enjoy the journey. We're going to be going from Asheville(ish) to there. It would be cool if anyone just popped in any suggestions about things to see along the way, we haven't mapped out the trip yet, and I wanted to get some suggestions

So I got 480 miles running through the worst parts of NC or 471 using I81. I suggest both. Run through NC to get to DC and then on the way back kick it down 81 because there is nothing to see, no slow downs, and you can make some serious time even if you're restricted to that silly east coast 65 mph

stop in richmond and go inside that old ass victorian-looking tower that sits on 95 driving through downtown. i've always wondered what it is and i've never bothered to look it up.

From the richmond virginia wiki its a bb&t bank building that was built in 1913 says its located downtown.. that sound about right?

We were going to do this. 2 different ways, you get to see twice as much.

There's a crazy castle in Asheville than you can see from 240 right as you go through the Beaucatcher slice. At some point I want to go check that out, but it's private property.

That's Seely Castle or Overlook Castle. It was built by EW Grove's son-in-law (same guy that built Grove Park Inn and Grove Arcade). UNCA held classes there back in the 50's. There's some interesting history (beyond Wikipedia) here

81 sucks.  Couple of suggestions stop at Appomattox Courthouse. Also stop by Charlottesville and see Monticello.  Then hope on 95 stop by colonial Williamsburg and Yorktown. After that stop by Petersburg and then hit Mt Vernon.

I see you still don't pay attention. 81 is suggested for the trip back because there's nothing to see or slow down your trip back.

    • I agree. I’d make the move because I don’t see us sniffing the playoffs and let’s be honest TMac, Legette and Coker better be our top 3 future. If they aren’t and we need Thielen to replace one of them, then we need to draft yet another 1st round WR, SMH. Suffice it to say, Thielen isn’t good enough to get us into the playoffs so let’s get the young guys starting so we know if they aren’t good enough. We still have so many assumptions about whether players are who we need them to be that holding onto Thielen for 3-7 wins isn’t worth passing on a mid round pick (3rd to 5th/swaps). We’ve had some success with later round picks/UDFAs and need depth.
    • If you move Thielen I think you almost have to keep Renfrow. You need some sort of veteran presence in the locker room and Renfrow would be good insurance in the slot. I'm sure we have Coker penciled in to start there but you also have to be keeping Coker in the back of your head as XL insurance on the outside if he doesn't step up. If he flounders again, I wouldn't wait too awfully long to replace him with Coker outside and slide Renfrow into the slot and keep it moving. 
    • Playing the same role is different than having the same style.  Cam Newton and Drew Brees both played QB but arent the same type in any way.
