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.  For dessert, we walked about ten minutes west to  Voodoo Doughnut . The Seattle location opened late last ye...

Another Baby Shower!

Today I had another shower thrown for me!  This was our family baby shower and was held at my sister-in law's house.  Unlike the one my friends threw me, the men where there too.  My husband enjoyed hanging out with his family and playing the games.  Who doesn't love guessing baby food flavors and trying to figure out what kind of candy bar is melted all over a diaper!  We loved it and had a great time.  They had quite a spread of food including a whole table of desserts.  I enjoyed catching up with everyone and showing off my bump! 

Aren't these so cute?  My sister-in law made these and it was perfect that there was two since I'm having two babies!

My niece knows that cupcakes are my favorite dessert and she made these for my shower.  They were tasty! 

There was also cheesecake, fruit kabobs, jello and these pies.  I haven't tried one yet but there's a couple in my fridge.  They look yummy! 

At my other baby shower I discovered how creative my friends are.  They really went all out on decorations, favors and more.  At my family shower it was the same thing.  I never knew how creative my sister-in law's and my niece were.  My sister-in law made this corsage for me to wear at the shower.  It was so cute and I love the pacifier. 

She also made this tie for my husband to wear today.  I really like the elephant fabric and the pacifier's. 

                       Even Noodle, our cousin's dog, made an appearance at the baby shower. 

Here was one of the many games we got to play today.  Hmm, turns out baby food doesn't taste so great.  At least there were cupcakes to wash it down!
