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.

Montana Moments

Our trip back to visit family in Montana had many special times and the beautiful scenery certainly helped.  We all joined together one night in Glacier National Park.  We had a potluck in Apgar which is right on Lake McDonald.  Nobody ever tires of that view.  Another day my family and I headed to Whitefish, about seven miles from Columbia Falls, and visited Whitefish City Beach.  I love the view from there of Whitefish Mountain Resort and Whitefish Lake.  We had coffee at Montana Coffee Traders on Central Ave and I had to snap a shot of the cute building in downtown Whitefish.  The sunsets at my parents home were also nice and I was able to capture my aunt and uncle's trailer, who were also visiting, with the sunset and the moon.  It was memorable moments in a beautiful state.
