Dawn: Here's a couple in Virginia:

The Williamsburg Pottery Factory(on I-64) Don't be fooled by the name, this place has a little bit of everything. I've been there many times, you're going to love it!

The Williamsbug Outlet Mall(1/2 a mile from the pottery) I've never been here but I hear it's great -- and ginormous! Lot's of people get a hotel room and spend several days here, the bargains are supposed to make up for it. Everybody says don't go on a weekend, it's absolutely crazy!

for more info, put the following in your browser:

I went to google and wrote in "outlet stores by state" and there are plenty options to click on. Check the state you are going through.

Don't know about the stores along the way, but for a REAL bargain on food in Washington, DC, Union Station, (main rail station in the city) in the basement, has one of the best food malls we have ever been to. I remember being in shock after paying $40 for two sandwiches and 2 drinks in the hotel pub before we found the restaurants at Union Station. Have a wonderful time. DC is one of my favorite places to see.

I have been to the Unclaimed Baggage store in Scottsboro and thought it was like an untidy Good Will. I found nothing worth buying but maybe you will have better luck.

We went to the unclaimed baggage store and loved it. I stayed 3-1/2 hours. There was a big rival football game that slowed traffic to a halt in Tennessee so we got off the highway and went to Pigeon Forge and spent the day at the Outlaw stores. Fall in this part of the country is absolutely beautiful...yellow, red, orange and green...mountains full!
