-Pick your route based on the time of year / weather.
-Bring a printout of Trader Joe's locations (if you're a hopeless aficionado like me).
-All interstates have big boring chunks of repetitive landscape in the middle, so ignore that factor in choosing.
Here are some highlights I remember:
1) Hwy 90 - Awesome for Yellowstone and through northern states. Some deadly boring field countryside though.
2) Hwy 80 - It has its charms. Stop in Newton, Iowa at the Maytag blue cheese factory! :) I drove by Chicago just for a few hours to the Art Institute.
If you're near Bettendorf/Davenport Iowa at sleep time, a hotel called the Abbey which was formerly a nunnery but was refurbished to a multi-star hotel is a great experience.
3) Hwy 70 - Fun through Tennessee and other southern places.
4) Hwy 40 and 10 have their charms but I don't recollect off hand!
Safety: Get AAA's long distance towing emergency plan.
