Default Riding over the holiday weekend

I'm curious. Is anyone planning on riding to their destination over Thanksgiving? This year, the festivities will end St my brothers house in Jacksonville, FL. I'm in Charlotte, NC. Normally the ride is about 7 hours. Travelling on I77-I 26- I-95. My adventurous side says do it. My family says hell no, due to the traffic, it will be dangerous.

So, is anyone going to take the dare?

I'm taking 3 days of vacation time. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Which equals a total of nine days off.

Now I just need to pick somewhere to go.

Thanksgiving is my last good ride of the year. If I don't ride I usually kick myself when the snow is falling.
