THE PERFECT WEEKEND
Why not do something wildly spontaneous and completely out of the box for an upcoming weekend. Without telling your wife or girlfriend, make reservations at The Fulton Hiouse Bed & Breakfast for Friday and Saturday nights.
After you check in on Friday afternoon, walk down to our local microbrewery pub and have a hand-crafted beer with your lady. I bet it's been a long time since the two of you have done that! From there, take a short walk -- perhaps holding hands -- to any one of a dozen neighborhood restaurants that offer terrific food at very reasonable prices. You have your choice of Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Hawaiian, a steak & seafood grill, a fried fish house, pizza or a standard American meal.
After dinner, come home and just kick back and relax. Maybe you'll choose watching one of the shows on cable TV (including all the premium channels), or maybe you'll pick up a book from our extensive in-house library. Or maybe you'll even purchase a fine bottle of wine from our wine cellar for just the two of you to share.
Next day is Saturday, so sleep in, since we offer our wonderful breakfasts until 10:30 a.m. No need to eat in our dining room....if the weather is fine, eat on our outdoor patio, where you can enjoy our waterfall, 30-foot stream and koi pond, together with our large garden area. Or, if you prefer, load up your plates and eat in perfect privacy in your room.
After breakfast, take a bus downtown. You get it a half-block from The Fulton House and avoid all the hassles and expense of inner-city parking. Buses are cheap and fast and, remember, you can ride all the buses and light rail free throughout central Portland in "Fareless Square." Spend the day shopping (absolutely no sales tax for any purchase!) or at the Art Museum or maybe at the Oregon Historical Society.
After a tiring day, you probably don't want to go far for dinner, so plan on Italian or Mexican within a 5-minute drive away. When you return, relax in our large hot tub (open to 9:30 p.m.) and sleep in again the Sunday morning. When you're ready, come to our special Sunday breakfast, featuring The Fulton House egg & potato quiche, perhaps while you read The Sunday Oregonian. Check-out is at 1100 a.m., but you can leave your bags with us and wander two blocks down to Willamette Park for a stroll along the Willamette River on the renowned River Greenway, which runs for up to two uninterrupted miles here.
Finally, drive home or to the airport with a sense of calm and serenity you both haven't experienced for a long time.
Try it, you'll love it....and so will she!
