Then when the toll part is over I have to exit the hwy, drive down a mini Las Vegas strip and then get back on the hwy? WTF is that?
Now for some questions. How far is Gettysburg from the turnpike, and how far is Pittsbugh? On the way back Id like to either stop at Gettysburg or get one of those really big sandwiches with french fries on it.
Tolls are crazy. That's how our Republican controlled legislature "doesn't raise taxes" they just raise the fees on everything.

Have a safe trip.
Went to DC a couple month ago for a day and half while my daughter and wife were at a convention. Love it there.
