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.

The Green Lake Pathway of Lights


This past Saturday, December 8th, was the Green Lake Pathway of Lights. This free, family friendly holiday event was hosted by the Seattle Parks and Recreation. People could donate canned food which went to the Benefit Family Works. They had luminaries around the lake, concessions, live music, and hot air balloons on display. People were encouraged to wear strings of lights and bring other accessories that lit up. The night was dark and cold, but the community came together for this awesome event. There were lights everywhere, even lining the dock. Our favorite park were the hot air balloons, since we'd never seen them close up before. There were five, all lined up together on the grass with their flames lit. There was a light show with the hot air balloons and they were all illuminated against the night sky. It was incredible to see and to photograph.
