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.

Cannon Beach

Haystack Rock.  Ecola State Park.  The quaint downtown filled with shops, restaurants, coffeehouses and galleries.  I found Cannon Beach to be a captivating and a very photogenic place.  It was only seven miles from Seaside where we stayed so went several different days.  The first day was so foggy that we couldn't see Haystack Rock and the downtown buildings almost weren't visible.  So we went back.  The Pacific loomed before us, magnificent in its power as we watched waves building toward the beach.  Haystack Rock stood proud, surrounded by other rocks and making Cannon Beach one of the best in the nation.  Finally, we visited Ecola State Park which is the exit right before the downtown area.  It offers up views from above Haystack Rock that must not be missed.  To the left is Tillamook Rock, a lighthouse on a rock in the middle of the sea which I found mystifying, I hear its haunted.   Cannon Beach has many memorable aspects and I had a blast photographing the area.
