Sometimes you don't know how you are going to feel about something until the time comes but then obligation sets in which means you do things you don't want to - I think it's totally fine to bail out of things. So glad you made this choice. What a beautiful way to spend your time together as a family.

The fact that you and Paul felt relief once you made the decision not to drive out to Bremer Bay shows that you made the right choice, hard as it may have been. Glad you, Paul and the girls got some decent down time and had a lovely weekend!
