1. rebel sure. put it on amtrak or pay some tow company. It's going to cost you big time. try getting a friend to drive it. make sure she is also is insured & buy her a plane tix back
2. Look up in the phone book car transportation companies or freight companies. There are car haulers who can do this easily. You will pay by weight and mileage. Also you might try Freight forwarding companies. These schedual frieght for independent truckers, which is probably cheaper. You will need a loading dock on the other end. Getting a friend to drive and ticket back might be cheaper or you ride with them to take care of the little one. Good Luck
3. Amtrak does offer the auto train from Sanford to Lorton of course you would have to drive to Sanford and from Lorton or you can contact some of those auto transporters service they could deliver the car for you (even some moving companies offer this as well) since you have a 5 year old I think they would love the train option heres some of the infom about the auto train gotten from Amtrak website The Auto Train takes you and your car (or your van, motorcycle, SUV, small boat, jet-ski, or other recreational vehicle) nonstop from the Washington, DC area to sunny Florida.

4. You could look into UHaul.....I think if you rented a truck for your stuff that you could two the car behind....I've seen that on the highway and stuff. Or there's a train that you can put your car on.
5. u can rent a trailer and tow it ...........
6. You can definitely have it shipped as cargo, but it's going to cost you big time.
