48 State Road Trip - Planning & Advice Needed - Late January to Late February

[createacat1]

Hey all! My girlfriend and I are finally at a point where we can make one of our dreams happen. A culinary focused 48 state road trip across the country!

I am an avid driver in California but not much experience outside the west coast. I have done a few trips to Seattle and back over the years but nothing like this. We are driving my 2012 Honda Civic that only has about 12k miles right now.

I have mapped out and plotted are points/cities we want to hit.

I would like any advice or suggestions you could give us.

Thank you ahead of time and we are looking at a start date of January 26th, 2015!

Here is the map.
