My husband's philosophy on traveling is go, go, go at age 72. I remind him we are on vacation and that it's okay to have leisurely rest days as well. He's come to agree with me on that. Your trip sounds lovely!
Your overall trip schedule sounds like my daily schedule: some activity, some rest, more activity, more rest. Traveling with our camping trailer makes this possible. Granted, this is difficult to manage if we're with others or need a full day of activity or travel. Occasionally there is too much in one day and I need a much slower day (or two) to follow. As long as I can alternate the schedule every few hours, I'm usually okay.

We abandoned the go, go, go vibe a few years ago. We tend to park it in one place and explore it really, really well. Your trip sounds wonderful.
You covered a lot of ground! That’s a lot of driving. Glad you got to see it all! And glad you got some rest. I like slow travel best too.
