Welcome aboard the RoadTrip America Forums!

While your request is missing a couple of vital pieces of information (how much time you have for the drive and what kinds of thins you enjoy seeing/doing) there are a few basic tips we can give you. The first is to take advantage of the many smaller stops along the way to break up your trip and make the most of being on the road. Another is to at least be aware of the possible major stops near your route including the Grand Canyon and Petrified Forest National Parks in Arizona, Petroglyph National Monument neat Albuquerque, Cadillac Ranch outside Amarillo and the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas, the French Quarter in New Orleans, Gulf Islands National Seashore, any number of Revolutionary and Civil War Battlefields in the East, the Blue Ridge parkway and Skyline Drive, the National Mall in Washington, Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, and others. If you plan on stopping at four or more national parks or monuments, purchase an annual pass ($80) at the first one you come to.

Also, don't be so sure that you wont see winter weather before you get to the northeast. Every state and every major highway in the US has seen snow, hail, or sleet at one time or another, even I-10 near the Mexican border.
