I think it's fine if you stay home, and that's nice that your DH seems to be fine with that and going on his own. I'd probably just stay home in that case, UNLESS there will be a lot of family there that you don't see otherwise for long periods of time (years? IDK).
I always feel guilty turning down family stuff too but I completely understand not wanting to travel again! I'm kind of reaching that point myself right now.

Dude, house to yourself for a weekend? This is not even a question.
Actually, I'm like you and would feel vaguely but irritatingly guilty, so I'd come on here and hope that someone would tell me that, "Dude, house to yourself for a weekend? This is not even a question.".
So, next weekend would have been the 100th birthday of DH's grandma (she passed away a couple of years ago and was just an awesome human being).
His family is doing a mini-reunion/party on Saturday. It was originally going to be in Seattle, but has been moved to Spokane (about a 5 hour drive away) because a good chunk of the fam lives over there.
Ordinarily, it would be a no brainer and we'd all go. BUT I am currently up at the beach (with DH's fam) after having been with my family on vacation for two weeks. So next weekend will be a month since I've had a weekend at home. And we have something the following week.
DH is offering to take Lu (they'd leave Sat and come back Sun) and I would hang at home and get some projects done around the house that haven't happened because we've been OOT so much.
But I feel sort of guilty. WWYD?
Part of my reluctance is the driving--while DH was backpacking with his Dad, Lu and I went with my mom to Sun Valley, which involved 10 hours in the car. I'm just sort of over traveling right now.
I would stay home and get some things done at the house (and I'd watch a lot of bad television, too).
But then, I practically have an allergic reaction to Spokane, so take what I say with a grain of salt. Though, I used to get door-to-door in three hours...
