[quote=Anonymous]I feel your pain OP. I think that with the newborn you can easily beg off, but DH may not be able to  - why not just send him? 
Our family is celebrating a milestone birthday for my elderly Dad out West. Nobody can afford it, but somehow it has turned into a week at a mountain lake in a huge vacation rental (think "with it's own elevator") plus of course airline tickets for our family of 4, the whole thing is going to cost us about $4500 unless we can work frequent flier miles tickets - which we were really hoping to use for a more exotic trip someday.  
So I guess my reaction is, $200 is not SO bad considering that Pittsburgh is not too far away and consider yourself lucky! Also, MIL is very fortunate to be able to celebrate her 60th in good health with all her family. Think of it as a celebration of life and family togetherness, not just a giant money suck. If you DO go, opt out of the activities, lounge around the pool with the baby and let the relatives ooh and aah over the newborn when they get a break from zip lining or whatever. [/quote]
