Assuming you have a little money to spend. If they were my points I would buy 2 seats on A Northeast regional to NYP for $98.00 the day before I booked the rest of the trip below.

The next day it would be the NER to Washington. . If on time you have an hour or two to walk around Washington.

The Capitol Limited to Chicago. If on time you have time to explore downtown Chicago. Top of what used to be the Sears Tower within 2 blocks. Magnificent Mile is Doable if you are in decent shape to walk. Grab an Italian Beef at one of the shops

The Empire Builder to Portland. Time for some donuts at VooDoo donuts

The Coast Starlight to Los Angeles.

If you should decide this is for you PM me for a tip or two on booking this route to your benefit
