meeting the parents...eek!

Hi, I've been in a pretty serious relationship for about a year now...first non-high school thing. His whole family gets together annually in Las Vegas, for a reunion of sorts. My bf's mother has invited me to join them this year, but I have never met them before, and the thought of spending an entire week with his family (when I know they will be sizing me up) is really starting to freak me out. His parents said they would pay for everything, and they are even letting us stay in the same room, albeit in different beds. bf was telling me that I would probably spend a lot of time alone with his mom, which is also freaking me out. Like I said before, all of my previous relationships were in high school, and I was usually friends with them first, meaning I met the parents before we started dating, and I have never been invited anywhere for the sole purpose of meeting the family. Which is what is happening here. I know I'm probably freaking out for no reason, but i really like him, and I know he really listens to the advice/opinions of his family, so if they don't like me, I think it would be safe to assume that our relationship won't last for very much longer. Any advice? Relaxation tips...lol I usually get pretty nervous when meeting anyone, but this is nearing me towards a panic attack. Thank you for reading; TIA for your response.

His parents are just people.
