A girl I'm seeing is traveling and staying overnight in a city 3 hours away for her Bday celebration and wants me to go. But it would be awkward for me to spend all that time with her and her girlfriends. I will feel out of place and just prefer a quiet dinner out with her and for her to do that trip without me. Is this normal?
I'm not the type of woman who would do that, but I guess to each her own. If you really don't feel comfortable doing it, tel her you'd rather just the 2 of you do something special. If she really tries to convince you a LOT, I guess you could try it once...doesn't mean you ever have to do it again.
Why do you care if it's "normal"? She asked if you'd go so now you decide if you want to or not. Give her the answer you gave us in your OP. Problem solved.

Try to see if she’s just being nice to invite you or if she really wants you there.
Like, “Nah you go along with your friends and have fun. We can do something later.”
If she insists she wants you to go then you should go.
If you really like her, you'd be crazy not to. The reasons?
1) She likes you enough to take you on a three-day trip. How is this a bad thing?
2) She likes you enough to introduce you to her friends. For three days.
3) More importantly, she wants you to meet her friends because she wants their opinion of you. She might not be thinking that in so many words, but that's what this is about deep down.
Listen carefully to me: Suck it up. You don't have to wear a lampshade on your head, but you need to go and make pleasant conversation with these girls. You need to exhibit good social skills. In truth, it's going to be easy. All you have to do is ask open-ended questions of them about their lives and you'll be considered the best conversationalist on the planet. They'll stamp APPROVED on your forehead and you'll be golden to your girlfriend.
