And, wow, thanks to everyone for the input. If I do this, I'm planning to take at least one, and maybe 2, vacation days (for a total of 3-4 days), but not more than that because I'm a hoarder.

In other words, we've all done it, so you should too.
If you get a chance, stop in Los Olivos - it's just north of Santa Barbara and unfortunately Atticus is right - Santa Barbara is a place we wish we could have gone to school even tho it still craves respekt.
In Los Olivos, you can hit a couple of wineries, if that's your thing, have lunch, and then move on the SLO. What everyone else said is true - Big Sur, Hearst castle - all must see things because you don't really drive the 1 very often. If you get a chance, see Carmel. It'll be most of a day, but too cute to miss.
