More random advice ...
Tolls in Maryland just went up. $8 on I-95 (north-bound only) in NE MD. $4 each way on the Fort McHenry I-95 tunnel. You can take I-695 (Baltimore Beltway) from I-95 to I-70 to avoid the latter.
Keep an eye out for dinosaurs when you are forced to make a left turn at a light on 340 S in Virginia.
I drove some of your route down to Skyland in the Park early this spring. Had a nice lunch at Ledo Pizza in the Crooked Run shopping center (look for the Target) just north of Front Royal and I-66 on 340.
The park entrance will be on the left side of US-340 S after you pass through handsome old downtown in Front Royal and the road gets divided by a median.
Shenandoah Park entrance fee is $10 but good for a week, so keep your receipt if you come home on Skyline Drive.
Mind your speed in the park and keep an eye out for Park Rangers' white Suburbans on the roadside.
If you get bored of Skyline Drive when heading north, and want to make better time, bail onto the twisty US-211 down the mountain towards Luray and take US-340 up the valley to Front Royal.
Have a great trip!
