Try an Overnight Stay ..... there Must be a Motel along the way
And one with a Swim Pool ............ Give yourselves a Break & a Rest
16 Hours Driving is DANGEROUS . ( 2 full 8 hour shifts ...non stop )
Agree 100% about taking (at least) two days to get down there. Anything over about 9-10 hours is pushing it.
I also agree about a motel (vs a hotel). In this day of Covid, you want to be around as few people as possible. Motels allow you to avoid common areas except for checking in and out. And get a room on the bottom floor, if possible. You can't get into an elevator with multiple people outside your family.
However, unless you're going in the next couple of weeks, or next summer, you won't find a motel with an open swim pool. It will be too cold to swim, until you get close to Florida. Hotels with indoor swim pools are an option. But they're few and far between on the interstate. They're usually in large cities. And they're hotels too. With the lobbies and the common areas.
