My Stay at The Nines Hotel in Portland, Oregon

The Nines is adjacent to Pioneer Square in the heart of downtown SW Portland. You’re next to Portland’s light rail train, MAX, which makes it extremely convenient to get to the airport, and the streetcar which you can take to almost anywhere around downtown Portland.  The streetcar was convenient before the likes of Uber, Lyft, and Fare showed up, and even with all the options we have now, it’s still a super convenient way to get around town.

The Nines is a luxury, modern hotel, and it shows with their service.  During our stay we had a complimentary cheese plate delivered to the room just after we arrived and turn down service including the always welcomed chocolate on the pillow.

I can’t comment on all the rooms, but the one room suite we stayed in was fantastic.  It had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves. If you happen to be staying on the Club Level, there are a few other nice touches to enjoy like the complimentary happy hour.  The night we were there there was a tuna fish and avocado salad along what I believe was a cold lobster dish. Both were great along with the selection of beers and wines to wash it all down.

The only downside I found for The Nines was the parking.  They only offer valet parking, and it is $47 per night. If you’re concerned about the price there is a well-lit, safe parking garage called SMART PARK about 4 blocks away on SW 4th and Yamhill where it will only cost you $18 per 24 hours.

I only had enough time for a one night stay, so I wasn’t able to explore as usual.  They have a restaurant, Urban Farmer, which is a top rated one in Portland as well as a roof top restaurant, Departure, with a bar that has great views of downtown Portland.  I didn’t have time to try either, so I’ll have to catch them next time I’m back in town.

Overall, we had a great time.  Would I recommend it? Absolutely!

    This is a really thorough review of a hotel property, which I do like. The photos look nice, and I love a bit of color in the places I stay (more Instagram worthy you know!!) I’m looking forward to visiting Portland at some point as we’ve never been! Adaleta Avdic

Our garage is one of our favorite places to hang o Our garage is one of our favorite places to hang out on the blazing summer days. We bought the house while it was still being built, so we had no idea just how big the garage was going to be. #Ad #TargetPartner
Once we saw it, we realized it would be much more fun to convert it into a rec room instead of just parking our cars in it. The latest addition has been an @Xbox. We got Xbox All Access from @Target , which got us an Xbox along with 100’s of games. Our kids are pretty new to gaming, so it was awesome, because there was no upfront cost, we get to keep the Xbox, and they can try out a bunch of games instead of me having to buy a bunch of different ones. Noah keeps changing his mind about which game is his favorite, from Forza to Minecraft, and now it’s Craftopia, so it’s already saving money 😂

I’m trying to make our Florida house as easy to I’m trying to make our Florida house as easy to take care of as possible, so I bought a bunch of different smart home devices to help with the cleaning, lawn, thermostats, water leaks, lights, etc. This is the third house we’ve done this with, so we’re starting to finally figure out what works and what isn’t worth it. Check out my stories for our recommendations and to get links. #smarthome #florida #homeimprovement

We signed up for Xbox All Access a couple months ago from @Target, and what’s nice about it is that you get a @Xbox as well as access to 100+ games for a just monthly price with no upfront cost, and it ends up being a good deal. It works out especially well for us, because Noah and Emma like very different types of games, so instead of us having to buy lots of games, there are over 100 already included for them to play.  It’s currently only available for purchase online, so I’ll link it in my stories. #TargetPartner #xboxallaccess #xbox

Father’s Day is about celebrating fathers, but I Father’s Day is about celebrating fathers, but I wanted to share appreciation for @LeeAnneBenjamin who gave me the privilege of being a father. Before I met Lee, my young, naive plan was that I wouldn’t be married until I was 30 and definitely wouldn’t be having children until I was at least 35. 
I was married to work and the idea of creating companies and wealth. I didn’t think I had time for both. 
Then Lee came along. I had no idea when I met her, but it was the luckiest moment of my life. I couldn’t dream of ending up with anyone better.  If there is such a thing as soulmates, I found mine. 
We’ve been together 17 years, almost half my life. And I couldn’t imagine my life without her. 
She’s the reason I get to be the father of two kids I’m obsessed with, and for that I’ll be forever grateful.
Happy Father’s Day!
We decided to have some fun this morning! The kids We decided to have some fun this morning! The kids have been getting into some games lately, so I thought we’d set it up all outside, because… why not! # ad 
We recently signed up for #xboxallaccess at @Target, where for a monthly price we got an Xbox Series X and access to hundreds of games. It’s been awesome for us because there are a ton of different games to try out. Noah seems to be into the racing and Minecraft games, while Emma’s been enjoying Paw Patrol

What's your favorite thing to cook on your grill? What's your favorite thing to cook on your grill? We go through a lot of burgers, but I love cooking thick ribeyes. If you can get enough heat on them for a good sear, I'm convinced there's nothing better. When we customized our new outdoor kitchen from @RTAOutdoorliving , we put in a grill from @coyoteoutdoor that has an infrared searing burner that IS AWESOME. Excited to share more details of our outdoor kitchen with you guys on stories. Lee's favorite part of the kitchen are the Corian Endura countertops from @coriandesign. Check out my stories for a video of some sweet sweet grilling action 😂
This week as part of @LeeAnneBenjamin 's and my go This week as part of @LeeAnneBenjamin 's and my goal to teach out kids something new or give them a unique experience every week this year, we're building @Lego Technic cars from @Target #Ad. I thought Noah would really be into them, but I was surprised by just how obsessed Emma has been with them too. They take a few days to make, so we've been doing a little bit most mornings or evenings. @Target has a bunch of different ones, and even has an exclusive on some of them like the green Mustang we're building, which is one of the less expensive ones. It's been an awesome way to get some good one on one time with both our kids. Check out my stories for more info and some links. #TargetPartner #TargetStyle

We’ve got a new project! I want to get the kids We’ve got a new project! I want to get the kids out fishing on the lake, but the boat slips here are either on a waitlist or too expensive to be worth it. Instead we’re going to transform this one into something we can drop in the water ourselves and spend less than we would on an annual boat slip. 
It’s not as big of a project as some we’ve done in the last, but this one should get done quickly. 
I’ve got a lot of ideas of what to add to it so we can have “Champaign taste on a beer budget.”
First up is a motor we can drive by a remote and eliminates the need for an anchor by using GPS. Check out my stories for more info

Spring's finally here, so we've finally been able Spring's finally here, so we've finally been able to get back outside. We've made a lot of changes to our backyard and are excited to share it all. One of our kids favorites is definitely the outdoor ping pong table from @Ledgelounger. It's made from high-quality resin just like their signature chairs, so it's going to stand up to just about anything the weather is going to throw at it, so we can simply enjoy it.

If you haven’t been following along on @leeannebenjamin ‘s stories, we’ve been looking for a Florida home for quite a while. 
In this crazy real estate market, even if you put an offer in a house above asking the asking price, there is a good chance you won’t get it. 
We had our offer accepted on this one a couple days ago, and today was the first time we got to see it in person. I shared a walkthrough of the house on @leeannebenjamin ‘s stories, so you can see more there. 
I’m super excited to let the kids know, but we’re going to wait until the closing is done, so we can bring them both to Florida and surprise them! I can’t wait to see their faces!
