To find the arrival time, we first need to determine how long the trip took. The car averaged 60 miles per hour for a distance of 600 miles. We can calculate the time taken using the formula:

\[
\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}
\]

Substituting in the values:

\[
\text{Time} = \frac{600 \text{ miles}}{60 \text{ miles per hour}} = 10 \text{ hours}
\]

Since the family left at 4 a.m., we need to add 10 hours to that time:

\[
4 \text{ a.m.} + 10 \text{ hours} = 2 \text{ p.m.}
\]

Therefore, the family would arrive at their destination at **2 p.m.**
