If you have a choice of traveling on the road on December 26th you should reconsider. Some people know this and if you didn't, you now do. We knew there would be some traffic on our six hour drive close to Richmond VA., on our way to South Carolina, but we didn't realize it would take an extra four hours.
The first clue was towards the end of the NJ Turnpike which was backed up to go over the Delaware Memorial Bridge. It looked like a mass exodus, which it may have been. Not only were there people on the way home from the holidays but there were people going on vacation.
When we finally arrived at the hotel at 11 pm I was still surprised to find people in the lobby checking in and the next morning I realized there were people who checked in after us. Keep in mind in the future that Dec. 27th is a much better day to travel on the road.
