Fairfax, VA 22033
(703) 591-5557
1)
Take New Jersey
Turnpike South to the end (Exit 1). *
2)
Continue across the
Delaware Memorial Bridge and follow the signs towards I-95/Baltimore.
3)
Stay on I-95 South through
Baltimore** and follow the signs towards Washington DC.
4)
As you approach
Washington DC, stay in the right-hand two lanes. Exit at Exit 27 onto the loop
around Washington DC; the signs say "I-495/Silver Springs.
5)
Immediately after
merging onto I-495, head over to the left-hand two lanes; there's lots of
merges and exits, and the right-hand lanes tend to disappear a lot.
6)
Continue ahead on I-495
to Exit 49 (I-66 West, Front Royal).
7)
Go about 8 miles on
I-66 West.
8)
Exit at Exit 57B
("Route 50 West/Fair Oaks/Winchester"). The ramp will put you onto
Route 50 West.
9)
As you are approaching
the end of the exit ramp onto Route 50 West, you'll see a Holiday Inn on your
left across the highway. On your right, directly across from the Holiday Inn,
is an entrance to our development, "Penderbrook".
10) Make a hard right into the development***, followed
by an immediate left, following the signs to the golf course. You'll be on
South Penderbrook Drive. Take it to the end (~1/2 mile).
11) At the "T" intersection at the end, make a
right onto Penderbrook Drive, again following the sign towards the golf course.
12) On the left, you'll see a small sign for "The
Greens". Turn left at the sign onto "Center Way".
13) Two blocks up the road, turn left around the small
island onto Calie Court. We're at the end of the cul-de-sac at 12010 Calie
Court.
Notes:
From Exit 10 on the NJ
Turnpike, the trip should take ~ 4 hours (~230 miles). Avoid reaching the
Washington DC area during the afternoon rush-hour period (4:00 - 6:30 PM);
traffic is very heavy during that time.
The best rest stops on the
trip are the three consecutive stops after the Delaware Memorial Bridge (~15
miles apart).
* Exit 1 on the Turnpike occasionally backs up. As an alternate, you can exit at Exit 4, take Route 73 North for 1 mile, and get onto I-295 South. That highway runs parallel to the NJ Turnpike and merges back with it just before the Delaware Memorial Bridge. Just keep following the signs to the Delaware Memorial Bridge.
** The Fort McHenry Tunnel through Baltimore occasionally backs up. An alternate is the Harbor Tunnel. I-95 divides North of Baltimore into I-95 and I-895; you follow the signs to I-895 towards Annapolis. Just stay straight on I-895 and after Exit 1, I-895 merges back onto I-95 past the traffic congestion.
*** If you accidentally pass by the entrance to Penderbrook, continue straight ahead on Route 50 West. The next exit immediately on the right will be to the Fair Oaks Mall, followed by West Ox Road (North). Exit onto West Ox Road (North), stay in the right lane, and make a right turn at the first traffic light onto Penderbrook Road. See direction #12 above.
