Virginia to California

I'll be finishing my active duty orders in March and will be driving my family (wife, kids & dog) from Virginia back to California. This is my planned route (64,70,15 fwy), but since I've never taken it before, I wanted to check if there’s anything I should be aware of. We have about 8 days for the trip but are aiming to get back in 5 days. Any tips, stops or recommendations?
