Look, I get it. You already subscribe to too many newsletters. So much to keep up with. But guess what? I only send out a newsletter once a week. And if youāre feeling curious, peruse the Creator Class archive. You might find something that resonates with you! Itās a great way to stay current with what Iām publishing, and newsletter recipients always get some extra insight just for them. So what are you waiting for? Letās roll!
For my daughter's birthday, we had a blast eating pancakes at Cheryl's downtown, shopping at Pioneer Place, visiting Keller Fountain Park, and exploring the stunning Japanese Garden at Washington Park. What a fun day in Portland, Oregon!
So the children thought it would be fun to be interviewed about their YouTube
& gaming aspirationsā¦but then they turned the tables on ME! Mayhem ensues, and thenā¦well,
I have no idea what THAT was at the endā¦
You know that giant lake near Seattle? No, I'm not talking about Lake Washington. I'm talking about Lake Sammamish! Yeah, that other one further to the right on the map. Turns out it's pretty awesome!
I thought I was taking an Amtrak train from Portland to Seattle, like I had done before. I was wrongā¦the train was delayed and they threw me on a bus instead! Not coolā¦BUT it did still get me to Seattle in a reasonable timeframe. From there I headed off to work at WeWork, visit the Seattle Waterfront, and meet up with my bro. Next day Shayne and I got to see some stunning views of Snoqualmie Falls, as well as visit a beautiful country lake in the town of Kent, WA.
I had a FANTASTIC time boating out on the riverā¦my first time even after having lived here for several years! Also don't miss the gorgeous sunset views the kids and I got to see overlooking Portland's South Waterfront. Breathtaking!
Portland boasts many fine bridges which span the Willamette River, and Tilikum Crossing is no exception. Named after the local Chinook word for people, and opened to the public in 2015, Tilikum Crossing was the first new bridge built in the region since 1973ās Fremont Bridge, and itās notable for being the first major American bridge to be designed for public transit, bicyclists, and pedestriansābut not automobiles.
Welcome back to my YouTube channel! Kickstarting the next vlog seriesā¦a casual record of my life in Portland, Oregon on a regular basis and finding a path forward after a very difficult last two years. In the back half of the episode, I explore the Molalla River Recreation Area!
The official debut of my kids on Essential Life! š„³š (also apologies for some of the shaky footage here and thereā¦they were also my cinematography assistants! š) This is part ONE of a two-part vlog of our summer vacay up in Seattle. We were tickled pink with our GORGEOUS hotel room and got to see many incredible sights along the way. Enjoy!
