The Petrified Forest. and Painted Dessert is near the Grand Canyon, wouldn't be a bad side trip in AZ. I made the trip from Macon, GA to Phoenix, AZ in a Civic Si and it wasn't too bad. Texas did seem to take a while to get across, but the thunderstorm probably slowed me down some. Up near the Grand Canyon is Rte. 66 so you can hit two icons at the same time. I made a similar trip in 1972 in my 240Z from San Francisco to Pittsburgh on the northern route, and returned the southern route. It was an interesting trip.
