Sounds like a lot of driving to me also. That being said I have in the past done the same thing with lots of kids. We raised 6. But sounds like you have plenty of room and people should be comfortable so they may enjoy the ride as part of the vacation. Mom and Dad will be more on duty than them! I personally would leave the dog at home. Many people full time with pets and that's great but for a short trip I think they are kind of a pain. We have also taken our pet in the past. After a while bowser started staying home. Most places that have trails do not allow dogs on them so he will just be a camper dog while you are out. When we traveled with the kids to a destination I would drive til tired then in the evening see if there was anything on the route that looked to be worth a stop. We didn't have completely planned trips. I imagine that can be a good or bad thing!JMHO
