PMIKE, I feel your pain, my wife and I live in ATL also, and have wanted to do a cool western trip. The dang midwest is the problem, we just can't see driving across all of that to get to the destination, and we are like you, and could only get away for 10-14 days.
Have you thought about the Florida Keys?? It's an easy but long drive from ATL. It is really beautiful, and lots of things to do. We've done it twice from Newnan (already south of ATL), and it is 2 manageable 6-8 hour days, or one really long day.
I'd recommend splitting it into 2 days on the way down atleast, and explore some of the springs in central FL if you have never done that, it is amazing.
Good luck planning a special trip, and congrats on 30 years!
