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...

Two Spots to Quench Your Thirst in Columbia Falls and Whitefish, MT



Our visit to Montana was a hot one with the temps reaching 100 degrees. I needed to cool down fast, with something cold to drink. Some afternoons I needed cold coffee while other days called for a green juice.

One place for coffee in Columbia Falls is Odd Fellows Coffee House. They've been open a year or so and I was looking forward to checking them out. They're located across the street from the library where I have so many memories as a kid. The inside of Odd Fellows is inviting with lots of things to look at. My husband and I shared a large cold brew, some mini cupcakes, and a dark chocolate with caramel. The coffee just needed a little cream and it was ready for sipping. I liked the fireplace and all of the cozy seating. This place would be so nice in the winter when its snowing like crazy and you just want somewhere warm to hang out and drink a warm coffee. But since it was summer, we finished our little treat, and grabbed our coffee to take with us. Then we drove back to my folks' place with AC and put our feet up. Ahhh, summer vacation.

On another day, my husband and I wanted a pressed juice. We have a juicer at home and try to juice at least five days a week. Our bodies were missing the vitamins and minerals from our juice and we needed to find a juice shop. After searching online, we found Glacier Ginger Brew in downtown Whitefish, which is about seven miles from Columbia Falls where we were staying. They are located inside Stumptown Marketplace, along with a couple of restaurants, a sweet shop, art galleries, and more. We ended up sharing a large juice, a Stumptown Cleanser. The drink had beets, apple, kale, celery, and cucumber. We also added some flax seed, one of my new favorite things. The large juice was seven bucks, so its much cheaper to make your own at home. But it was just what we needed and the juice gave us a burst of energy and cooled us down on the hot day.
