    I'm loving the drone footage! It adds something to your narrative that a camera at street level can't. I do enjoy both POVs though. Anyway, welcome back and I hope your Nan had a wonderful birthday!

    As someone who lived in Portland for the last 3 years and spent 3 weeks in France in October, I love your videos. Getting to see the PNW and France on the regular are like getting to see and experience both from my Canadian home. Makes them feel a little closer then they are. Thanks Jay!

    Thanks for posting this. I especially enjoyed your childhood memories of time with the grandparents. They evoked the same feelings with me and my two grandmothers- one in Boston and one in Toulouse- both magical creatures (and instinctive gourmets) who created comforting food throughout the day and potions at bedtime. Enjoy your stay in Spokane- I like seeing all your travels. I'm actually going there tomorrow to see Metallica.I haven't been there in years, so I appreciated your camera work and the airborne views.

    I grew up in Missoula, and my son and his family live in Post Falls, ID. I don't know Pizza Pipeline, but will find it the next time I am in Spokane. Love that you are going home to see your Grandmother for her birthday - give her our best wishes. My Mother-in-Law is turning 90 in December as well. Have a great time in the NW. I still love Missoula and the passes going to Spokane - CDA is also beautiful. Keep the vlogs flowing.

    How awesome to be in town to celebrate you Grandma's iconic birthday celebration! Not many families are able to gather together for that specially numbered event. Hope it's fun, festive, and grand. So glad you were able to make this trip happen. Those drone shots were festively perfect. Those fantastically huge and softly falling snowflakes were beautiful and perfectly timed. It was the scenic backdrop that completed your vlog's synchrony between the seasonal anticipation of the holiday celebrations and grandmom's 90th Birthday! Can't wait to see your soirée footage tomorrow. Have fun! "Happy Birthday Grandma!". Safe travels....

    First of all, Happy Birthday, Grandma. My God, your family is so cute. I can feel that you must have mixed feelings living alone in France leaving all these guys behind, but at the same time so excited to go visit and enjoy them fully for a short time, then going back and doing the same. A rollercoaster of love and feelings. You are a very fortunate man, Jay. And I'm so very happy to keep supporting you as much as I can. Sadly I can't re-subscribe as a gift to Grandma, but I upgraded my Patreon to the next level, so that should work, shouldn't it? Please give Grandma a huge hug on my behalf, and you owe me some cookies. ;)
