It’s an age-old question for anyone who’s flown the nest: What are you going to do when your parents come to town?

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we go over one family’s perfect itinerary for showing off Oregon, from coastal landscapes to incredible Portland restaurants.

While adventures will be different for every family, the intention is typically the same: finding a way to balance your desire to show your parents the places you love, with the need to cater to their own needs and desires. With so many good options in Oregon, it’s easy enough to do.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

• There are few better ways to show off Oregon than a trip to the coast.
• These Portland restaurants are some of the best spots in town.
• Why a hike to Pittock Mansion is a great introduction to the outdoors.
• In the summer, you can’t beat a day on the river – any river.
