House training a Yorkie Poodle mix pup?

I have a 8 week old yorkie poodle mix that I am in the process of crate training/ going potty outside. It's going great. I am home for most of the day right now so the house training isn't an issue…for now. This spring, we will be out all day out at a theme park. I can't leave her in the crate all day and I'm not sure I can get someone to puppy sit her for the day each time we go. Would it be reasonable to put her in our 1/2 bath with a puppy pad? It's large enough for her to walk around and have a separate "potty" area but it's not a room that she is ever allowed in otherwise. Would this confuse her or would it be a good solution to those few days that we will be gone for 10 hours at length?

I wouldn't. I think it would be a mistake at that age to let a puppy ever think it is o.k. to go potty in the house. I would ask for family help or a pet sitter or dog walker, or someone from church or a neighbor. Even if the puppy had to visit someone else house that day, that would be better. You don't want to leave a puppy alone for that long either, because it might think it got abandoned.
