Thank you in advance.

The Air Force Museum is amazing. It's also huge in scope and it might be too easy to spend enough time there to really annoy your wife.
The Art Institute kicks butt for its setting, its building, and its collections and exhibits, plus a good overview of the city. I'm pretty sure it has a cafe, but I don't know what the hours are.
The Schuster Center, right downtown, is worth at least a walk-through just for the architecture.
The Oregon District offers historic charm and character.
If the weather is excellent and you want to get into the country, I suggest Carriage Hill Farm. It's part of Five Rivers Metroparks and not far from downtown.
