We bought a road map and planned our road trip all the way from West Virginia to California and of course used google maps to help with the plans. We planned the trip for 4 days of driving with about 14-15 hours drive a day.
The plan
Day 1: Charles Town, West Virginia to St.Louis Missouri.
Day 2: St.Louis Missouri to Denver, Colorado.
Day 3: Denver Colorado to Elko, Nevada.
Day 4: Elko, Nevada to Foster City, California.
In the end it actually took us 4 and a half days to complete the journey.
We stopped every few hours of driving for either to get coffee from Starbucks or just at the rest areas on the freeway.
It's amazing how organized the rest areas are, with bathroom, vending machines and dog walk section. Some of them even have WiFi.
