The outdoor hot tub and garden at the Hotel Planter.
José Mandojana
Spend the night in La Conner, WA, the cutest little burg in the Skagit Valley
Sit and sip: After a day on your feet, treat yourself to an espresso and comfy chair by the fire at the Next Chapter Bookstore, where you’ll overhear animated chatter about philosophy, local authors like Tom Robbins, and—no surprise—tulips. A staircase winds up to a wonderful loft of children’s books. 721 S. First St.; 360/466-2665.
Stay for dinner: At Nell Thorn Restaurant & Pub, chef-owners Susan and Casey Schanen change their seasonally inspired menu almost daily. Try the Sichuan duck or any pasta-seafood combination, paired with a wine from the extensive list. $$$; 205 Washington St.; 360/466-4261.
And the night: Hotel Planter is a great place to decompress. The century-old inn’s modern amenities include a steaming hot tub in a sculpture garden. From $109.
