 Hmmmmmmmm....ask her how school/work is going, how is her life going, etc. etc. etc. Maybe you could bring a few board games along for late at night and those could spark a conversation or two, like Scrabble, Monopoly, etc.

 I would read the two advices here, and I definitely agree with them. If you want my take, it is always good to have good manners because good manners make a good lasting impression on her parents. Also, find time to talk to her parents individually so that they can get to know you. Thirdly, always be yourself. They will accept you for you. I hope all of this and the other advice given to you will help. Definitely the other two will be very helpful, and I wish you the best.

 Make sure you set aside some time in the weekend to have a conversation with each parent. It doesn't have to be anything of major consequence; just spend some time with them. And make sure you say 'thank you for including me in this vacation,' before, during and after. You could also bring a little gift for them, like a tote bag or a small pair of binoculars...
This is very important: Write a thank you note after the event, something along the lines of, "Dear Mr. & Mrs. XYZ, Thank you so much for including me in your vacation plans. It really meant a lot to me, and I enjoyed having the chance to get to know you better. I appreciate all you did for me, and I hope we have the opportunity to spend more time together. I am enjoying getting to know your daughter and I am glad to have spent more time seeing what a great family she comes from." That kind of thing will really mean a lot to them, and should help with future encounters with them!
Good luck!

 Just relax, be yourself and have fun basically. Oh and good manners go a long way too especially in front of her parents so be a gentleman. Find something you both have in common and you've got it made. Have fun!
