Consider a day trip to Xi'an to see the warriors. Flights are cheap on ctrip.com
Agree with everything except for zoo (Portland's zoo is 100x better) and "day trip to Xi'an".

Would also suggest some of the outlying parks (e.g. Xiangshan) since OP has a car.

Finally, much depends on where the OP's relatives live.
