I've done San Francisco to Seattle many times by car, it's around 800 miles which is less than half the distance you're looking at.

You're going to be really hard pressed to do this trip in less than 10 days and still be able to call it a relaxing "vacation", you're going to feel like a long distance driver for most of the trip.

Unless you really enjoy driving long distances (like, really enjoy it, not just tolerate it), I would find a closer spot to visit, add more time to the trip, or fly out to the Grand Canyon.
