How long are the events of Half-Life 2 in-universe?

So I know the time it takes to play Half-Life 2 (15 hours), but it seems like the entirety of Half-Life 2 + Episode 1 and Episode 2 is only a week long. Gordon arrives, meets up with his old Black Mesa pals (although they only open the door for you in HL1 but who else were they going to pick?), makes more noise than a Skull & Bones invitation, go through the coast, go to jail, protest, tell Dr. Breen that he sucks and then witness him get so affected by it that he destroys himself, then retreat and blast a rocket into a portal. Sure, that makes it seem small, but that's what it feels like. So, in the lore, how long does the events of HL2 + Episode 1 and Episode 2 take?
