If you are only going for a week mid winter you will be lucky to get there before you have to turn around, hit ice and you are really in trouble.
2500km, 2 drivers. That is a full day's drive.
We used to do Myrtle Beach easily in 16 hours with multiple drivers back in the '70s when the routes were more convoluted. Now there are many more route options and that can save you time and miles. I think Florida is doable in 24 hours, if you cheat on the speed a little, stick to the interstates, change drivers regularly, don't hit any major problems (get caught speeding?) to slow you down, and don't stop too often for too long. Fuel/food/go.
Do a Google Maps route with traffic before you go and check the construction zones and other road conditions before you set out. Depending on whether you're coming via Michigan, or Buffalo, will affect your time. I-75 through Detroit, Toledo, and Atlanta can be problematic. Once you get south of Ohio I-75 is a better route, better road. I-95 can also be iffy in spots. Jacksonville for sure.
It's going to be a whirlwind adventure, if you're only gone for a week.
Good luck, have fun.
