I think your crazy. I just completed a 3,550 mile trip from VA to CO and back in 13 days. We drove no more than about 450 miles per day. This made for a LONG day. Most days were around 300 miles. I felt like we mostly just drove around and didn't really stop and do much of anything. We were constantly stopping for fuel, food, bathroom, etc. I was only getting about 10 MPG so that's a fuel stop every day at least. Some days two fuel stops.
I don't think I'll take a trip like this again any time soon. I'll wait until I have more vacation time and older children. My kids are 3 and 5. It may be somewhat different with your older children but I doubt any of you will really enjoy the trip that much.
Professional truck drivers don't often drive 600 miles a day.
Nope, it's worse when they're older. :p
