Happy Hour and Dessert in Capitol Hill

Happy Hour Street Tacos with Carne Asada and a Miami Vice from Poquitos. Poquitos is located in Capitol Hill and they're serving up authentic Mexican cuisine and cocktails. Their happy hour deal is a good one- during Ocho hour, everything on the happy hour menu is just $8! I went with a Miami Vice, a classic Pina Colada with Strawberry. This blended cocktail was so fruity and delicious. To eat I had two Carne Asada Street Tacos and a Birria Poquitos Burrito. The Burrito was small and served with a side of Consommé sauce. Both food items were tasty and satisfying. My husband also had some Street Tacos and a Margarita from the happy hour menu. My sons had a Cheese Quesadilla and beans and rice. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. I first visited Poquitos in 2012, also for happy hour, and I remembered liking it then, too. It was time for a meal there again.

Our family stayed at the Pan Pacific Vancouver for one night. This luxury waterfront hotel was one of the nicest we've stayed at. Their outdoor pool was one for the books. It was the perfect retreat for summertime. The views of Vancouver, the water, and the mountains were such a nice backdrop for swimming and hanging out by the pool. There was a also a large sun deck for laying in the sun. The Pan Pacific shares a building with Canada Place and the Convention Center. The white sail sculpture you see in photos of Vancouver's skyline were in the back of the hotel.

The rooms were really nice, with a mini bar, room service, and a big bathroom. Our favorite part of our room was the view. The Vancouver Lookout Tower and the beautiful moon greeted us when we returned from dinner. The next morning we decided on room service. It arrived quickly and was set up with a flourish. Our boys had some Belgian Waffles, I chose three pastries, and my husband ordered the Avocado toast with salmon and egg. The pastries were super fresh. There was a small peach danish, a blueberry muffin, and a flaky croissant.

We loved our stay and wished we were staying longer. The service was beyond good and it was a really classy hotel.
