[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would put some effort into making sure she has everything that she might need when she is staying in your home. Items in the bathroom like towels, tissues, a cup at the sink. Make sure there is an extra blanket in case she runs cold. Make sure she knows where the coffee fixings are as well as some snacks. Confirm with your son about any food allergies or preferences. Having something special she likes such as her favorite snack/beverage will make it clear that you care about her and that you are happy she is there. This might seem crazy but... if you are on septic please have your son give his girl friend the rules about feminine hygiene product disposal.  I grew up in a big city where we were taught to flush tampons. My college boyfriend, now husband, grew up with septic and clued me in before my first visit to his parents house. His older brother's college girlfriend had not been so informed and ended up clogging the system on her first visit!

Like pp suggested have some ideas on things to do such as seeing the White House and Capital trees and the trains at the Botanical garden and then lunch/dinner would be great.[/quote]

These are good suggestions.  She will know that you are happy to have her there when she sees that you've put some time and thought into the comforts of your guest room (or your son's room) and the bathroom she'll use for her there.

I also think that reaching out like you are for ideas is good.  You may not want to plan anything but it is great to have ideas of things you can do so that you aren't sitting there staring at each other into the abyss of 5 hours together wondering what the heck you're going to do.  I love the idea of the Botanical Gardens.  I also think you could drive to Annapolis and walk around, shop and have lunch.  Or you could go up to the aquarium at Baltimore Harbor.

If you only have an hour then she might like to look through a family photo album with you.  My future MIL did so with me when I was dating her son and I was absolutely charmed when I saw all of those pictures of my future husband as a young boy.  [/quote]
