Odd-numbered highways run north to south. Even-numbered highways run east to west. Two-digit interstates are often the most direct routes through a city (i.e. I-95), while three-digit interstates go around the cities. (also true in Jacksonville I-295 goes around)

SOME VERY HELPFUL RESOURCES:

Roadfood -- find the best food in the small towns along your route

TRAVELING WITH KIDS:
