Default Is this a crazy idea?

My daughter is going off to college about 11 hrs away

She's leaving next Sat. Aug. 18 to go to band camp - she's a twirler, then on Fri Aug. 24 I'm driving to the university to bring all her stuff & attend a parents orientation (the one I went to in June wasn't enough) & then be there for a ceremony that is the bookend - opposite graduation

I'm wondering if it's crazy to take the dogs with me? They came with us in June - they went to Pepe Mint's for a few hours & then I boarded them - but in the car there were 2 of us for that trip to manage the dogs & give them attention.

Now this trip I would be driving there & back by myself. So I don't know if this is just too much with 2 yorkies. The pluses are I would spend less time away from them. And the BIGGIE is I'm afraid I will really need them after leaving my daughter at college!

I may need the furbabies to lick away my tears! Every mother I know says they cried all the way home after leaving their children at college - but I can't or I won't see the road!

I also think the dogs might be good company & help me.

Bad part is it means boarding them again & they had never been boarded before the last trip to Nashville. They seemed to fair ok, but I hate leaving them - it would be for 1 or 2 nights - I have to work out the logistics if I'm taking them with me. Have to make sure the pet resort opens early enough for me to drop them off & be back before the time the university assigned me to move my daughter in on Sat.

open to suggestions
