my wife won't allow me to travel alone with our 4-year old daughter

Hello,
I'm looking for some advice here.
My wife cannot make it to the family weekend my parents organize every year. She has to work on the Friday and Monday so traveling from Sat to Sun with our 1-year old boy for about 4 hours each day, doesn't make much sense. I agree with that. It's hard enough for a 1-year old boy to sit in the car for that long.
I would really like to go and suggested to take our 4-year old daughter from Sat to Sun, staying there overnight for 1 night. She doesn't want me to take our daughter away from her for one night. She says that that is not an option in the foreseeable future. She just doesn't want to be separated from her for any night.
I am finding that hard to understand. I look after the kids a lot, and she trusts me fully with looking after them. Why would she not let me go with our daughter for 1 night? I don't know how to deal with this.
Any advice is welcome, thanks.
