What is the best driving route from Richmond, Virginia to Portland, Maine?

My family is planning a car camping trip up north and I’m trying to plan the itinerary out just right. We’re going to be staying a few nights in Portland, Maine and I’m curious, what’s the best driving route to go from Richmond, Virginia to Portland, Maine?
