Having driven back and forth between California and Texas when I was in the Navy, it would take three full days of nonstop driving..
HOWEVER.
If you have the time, it would be a fantastic trip to stop every few hours and see history. Not the world's largest ball of string, mind you, but stuff like Gettysburg, St. Louis, Santa Fe, The Grand Canyon..
You could do even more if you felt adventurous and decided to take a less direct route.
In 2003 I helped my brother move from California to North Carolina. It took us four days of driving a u-haul with a late start on the first day, and a detour to San Antonio.
There are some thoughts to ponder, such as having a reliable car, an "emergency fund", and sufficient rest for each driver. I would seriously hit priceline on hotels to get at least a good rate on the hotels..
If I had the time? I would do it. I just drove all over Montana, South Dakota, Wyoming and Colorado with my heir apparent for a week last May..
