Home Alone
Ah, summer camp: your time to play while the kids are away. These three sizzling dates will ensure that little Johnny isn’t the only one having an adventure.
In town
There’s no separation between kitchen and dining room at the romantic DOC, a cozy Italian eatery on NE Killingsworth Street. Which is why reservations are a must—as is leaning in close to hear over the kitchen commotion. docpdx.com
End your night extravagantly at Portland’s White House, a luxurious B&B that features sparkling chandeliers, bubbling fountains, and a gourmet breakfast by candlelight. We like the Balcony Room. Why? Three words: six shower heads (and room for two). portlandswhitehouse.com
At home
Bust out your best (recycled) paper plates and order takeout from one of the 100 restaurants Delivered Dish serves, like Acadia or Everett Street Bistro. No dishes means more time for … other things. d-dish.com
Savor the cartoon-free silence snuggled up in the sheets—all the better if they’re supersoft, Italian-made Legna sheets from French Quarter Linens. frenchquarterlinens.com
Weekend getaway
Drink in wine country Sideways–style on a guided bike tour with Pedal Bike Tours. Just be sure to spit as much as you sample or you’ll end up truly twisted. pedalbiketours.com
Spoil yourself at the Black Walnut Inn & Vineyard. The Master Suite in this Tuscan-style villa offers pure lavishness: a two-person jetted tub and a balcony with heart-stirring views of the vineyards and Mounts Hood and Jefferson. blackwalnut-inn.com
