Default Longest roadtrip in an S?

I will be graduating from Mercedes ELITE program and Im gonna take a roadtrip/vacation right after graduation. Im currently in Houston. Im plannin to drive to visit friends in Atlanta and Florida then head back home to Seattle. Was thinkin of hittin up NY but I dont think I have enough time. Anyway, anyone have any suggested areas for beautiful, spirited driving routes on the way back?? Pretty much any state within the diagonal line from FL to WA. Im assuming the midwest is boring as hell cuz its just flat but please correct me if Im wrong. Its gonna be a LOOOOOONG LONELY drive. The gf was gonna take a vacation to be my passenger but her coworker beat her to requesting time off. Sucky.

So any suggestions?? Thanks.

TWO WEEKS? Ouch.

Hit Tail of the Dragon in TN and then Cherolola Skyway right afterwards. I think that's easily the most exciting stretch of road in the united states.

If you take interstates all the way, you're going to die of boredom. Random sideroads with a gps is always more exciting.
