Probably Clarksville, Tn to Dallas. We go to the gulf and east coast beaches quite a bit but I'm pretty sure Dallas is longer.
Longest Road Trip You've ever taken?

From Indianapolis to Key West FL. 23 long hours one way with 2 young children and a pregnant wife. Longest drive of my life
Ohhhhhh! I thought it was some cool new measure of distance I hadn't heard of yet.
2003, from the Kuwait/Iraq border to Baghdad. It was only about 350 miles as the crow flies. But, the trip took 20 days (Including a 7 day halt at the halfway point to allow the Army to catch up.). While we were on the "move" we only got the opportunity to sleep every two or three days.

One summer I took a road trip with my uncle that started in Topeka,KS and ended in Topeka . We visited the following cities/places: Aspen, Jackson hole, Salt Lake, Reno, Yosemite National Park, and San Francisco. We a had great trip and the trip took about two weeks if I remember right. I was about 22 about the time and that was 16 years ago.
Schooner lives out fantasy.....wakes up in bathtub with kidney missing.
I was stationed in Anchorage and when I got out in 97 I drove that with my wife and 2 little kids...aged 3 and 18 months. 3800 miles through the mountains with wife and kid who gets car sick. We stopped every 2 hrs to keep from hurling. Plus we broke down in Burlington Colorado and got stuck for a week waiting for a part. took almost 3 weeks. I have also toured the Gaspe pennisula...Drove Chicago to NYC to Maine.up into Canada around the Gaspe Pennisula through montreal back into US by Niagra and back to Chicago...5000 mile trip in 2 weeks. Longest one day trip was Chicago to New Jersey...left at 3:30 in the morning and got to New Jersey at 9:00. Driving in a RV that couldn't get over 60 miles an hour.
FWIW. @Bert Higginbotha steak is aged and takes up the whole plate. I couldn't eat it all. It was huge.
Not to mention (I don't think he'll mind), his attention to detail in his guest house was spot on. We liked the robes and king size sleep number bed.
Also, you should feel his chest. It's amazing.
Edit: One note Bert. When we turned in,we noticed the fridge was stocked full of Sam Adams. We couldn't find the bottle opener. The wife found the wine opener.
