Curious to find out how many days (approximately) it would take by driving the speed limit and stopping over night and making necessary stops. Thanks in advance for your answers.

It is over 2500 miles. Google maps says the trip takes 1 day 18 hours (42 hours total), but that is with no stops going the speed limit the entire way. That doesn't allow for reduced speeds and detours for highway construction projects, traffic jams, refueling stops, sleep, meals or any other issues that would cause you to stop or slow your speed below the legal limit.
I would allow at least 4 to 5 days. That would be assuming that you are willing and able to drive about 10 hours per day and with a few stops thrown in, your total travel time every day would be about 12 hours.

Plan on 3 to 4 days. Depends on the route you take.
I drove Seattle to Portland, ME, that took 5 days. However, I went Seattle to I80 in Utah, then across. If you drive across on I90 you might be able to do it in 3 days.

Just over 1 day. 1 day, 18 hours, but thats without stopping, so with stops 2 days.
