I'm actually doing the same thing this summer. My roomate and I are both 28 and quitting our jobs and have some free time.
Our basic itinerary is:
DC->TN->St Louis->Kansas->Denver, straight driving
->Utah (2 days)
->Las Vegas (Fri-Mon)
->SD, LA, SF (5 days total)
->Arizona/NM (3 days total)
->TX (1 day in Austin + 1 other day)
->Arkansas (3 days, family)
->Memphis/Nashville (2 days/1 day)
-> East TN -> DC
Of course, I can't tell you how much fun it'll be 'cause we haven't done it yet. We leave July 7. Maybe we'll see you on the road.
(BTW I'm bitter you got advice and I didn't
