To ignore Mil's guilt trip?

Mil lives about an hour and a half away by car (traffic dependent). Mil's mother (GMil) lives about an hour drive away from us (again traffic dependent) and half an hour drive away from Mil. Me and dh can't drive. So to get to Mil's we need to take a bus and trains with 2 or 3 changes and total travel time is about 3 and a half hours door to door.
Mil is trying to guilt us (mainly dh who passes it onto me) into going to her house on a Friday night and staying until Sunday so that GMil can see and play with our dc (22 months old) because it's too much for her to travel she says. But just found out Mil is planning on going to see distant relatives with GMil by car which will be about a 6 hour drive atleast. So I guess GMil can travel?? I really don't want to go as I hate staying at Mil's because she treats me and dh like little children who are unable to live our lives without her benevolent guidance. She is worse on her on turf, almost unbearable. Also Christmas isn't too far off and we will be guilted into going then and staying for a few nights. AIBU to ignore this guilt trip?

Countryescape what country is this? The USA? Sounds great for the environment. An emergency - you call the emergency services.
