Hmm.

It is possible to cross the country in about 48-50 hours of driving.
Spread that out to 8-10 hours a day and you suddenly see that is really
5 days. That only leaves the weekends as "extra time (maybe 3 or 4
days). If you have any downtime, you'll see that 1 "week" isn't a lot.

Yellowstone deserves much more than a few hours (cripes you can sped a
few hours just around the geyser basin and that doesn't begin to cover
all of Yellowstone.)
