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.

Lunch at Sushi Oyama in Burnaby, BC

Ahh, who doesn't love a spring getaway? The weather is finally warm and the flowers are in bloom.  The sun doesn't set until later and the days seemed filled with promise.  We decided to drive to Vancouver, British Columbia, located two and a half hours north of Seattle, for a couple days to visit my husband's cousin and her family.  They live in Burnaby, outside of Vancouver, so we ate lunch at Sushi Oyama, located in a large Heritage house.  Right away, I loved the look of the restaurant and thought it was unique, being a large house serving sushi.  The servers were really friendly and the food arrived really promptly to our table.  The prices were also good and they had quite a few lunch specials.  I had the California roll combo which came with salad and miso soup, eight pieces of sushi, and even some sashimi.  Our sons had potstickers and inari, which they love and always get when we go out for sushi.  My husband's sushi looked good too, and nicely presented.  The lunch was a good way to start our visit.  Then it was time to head to our cousin's house and get ready for some exploring!
