When I was married, I always dreaded the annual in-law vacation trip. First off, it was no vacation for me, it was a lot of driving, and then sitting around a house where there was nothing to do. I used to wander around town and see what I could see, but then normally caught you know what for not "being around to visit." I pity you Semisane. But that is part of playing the family game. So smile the entire time, nod your head when spoken to. Over eat. Try and make any passing of gas as silent as possible (but make them stink). And don't forget to make a fuss when its time to go home. Have fun there bud.
