This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at GWU chapter.

With parents weekend in just a few days, you may be freaking out about where to take them, what to show them, or where to go to eat with them. No worries, here are a few great places to hit this weekend, to show your parents you’re practically a native DCer.

 

Baked & Wired

While walking your parents around Georgetown, a great excuse to get some fall clothes by the way, make a stop for the best cupcakes in DC. Show them exactly how good those Dirty Chai cupcakes are.

Tour the Campus

Walk your parents around Foggy Bottom, showing them the best place to get a breakfast sandwich, GW Deli of course, and then hop over to Kogan Plaza to prove to them you actually know where the library is. Trust me, they’ll appreciate seeing where you spend all your time.

Kennedy Center

Prove to your parents that you’re cultured and pop over to the Kennedy Center, showing them not only the gorgeous views from the rooftop, but also proving to them that you leave Foggy once in awhile. Who knows, maybe you’ll even catch a show while you’re there!

Washington Monument

The National Mall is a perfect backdrop for your family’s holiday cards, so why not get it done early, while getting some fresh air and tourism at the same time.
