General Advice: Stay with a name brand (Nikon, Canon, Olympus, etc.); don't worry much about mpx for smaller prints and on-line viewing (my 2mpx Olympus prints to 11x14 without any problems); digital zooms are worthless so only consider the optical (3x to 4x should be easy to find in your price range); look for flexibility as well as simplicity so the camera can grow with you.
Specific Advice: My wife bought a Nikon Coolpix 3200 (3.2 mpx) a couple of years ago for exactly what you're talking about. Small and convenient; super easy to use; great quality prints up to 5x7; lots of versatility she's begun to use as she'd gotten more advanced. I'm guessing that the later versions with more mpx are under $200 now.
