Going on vacation, will this survive?

Hi All,

This year will be my third year gardening and starting tomatoes from seeds so I still have a lot to learn. I did not fully think through scheduling a family vacation the last week of April! I am in Frederick, MD zone 6 and in the previous two years I have started my seeds indoors in mid to late March and transplanted outside Mother's Day weekend. I won't have anyone that could come water my starts while I'm gone for a week. What would you do, not start them until I get back May 1st or start them in March and hope they survive the week with no watering?
