Round trip flight to D-town starting for around $340. I know thats kinda pricey but better than 20 hours of driving and you will prob put 150-200 in gas going that far.
Amtrak is usually cheap if you get two cities on the same line. The problem is that even fro Toledo, you have to switch trains in pittsburgh
Everyone just needs to move to the Northeast corridor. Life is so much more convenient.

Also, renting a car is pretty cheap *IF* you don't pick up or drop off at an airport location. It's pretty ridiculous at the difference in prices. If you rent from an airport, you're looking at 50-70 bucks a day. If not, maybe 20-30. Ahhh the bullshit nickel and dime taxes that counties try to get out of people.
