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...

Exploring Downtown San Diego, Little Italy, and Dinner at Harumama

After taking a break in our room we headed back out, this time to downtown San Diego. My son is into sports stadiums so he wanted to see Petco Park where the Padres play. We were able to find free parking about a block away. We took a walk around the stadium and checked it out. Then we spotted a neat bridge that our boys wanted to walk across. The views of downtown from the bridge were nice and worth the trek. Then we walked back to the car and headed to Little Italy for dinner, only about ten minutes away, and also in the downtown area.

We wanted to see the Little Italy Food Hall, at least from the outside, and luckily it was only a couple blocks from the restaurant we were going to. There was a nice piazza, all lit up with twinkle lights and lots of outdoor tables. They sometimes have live music in the evenings. We were impressed by the fountain right in front, and we loved how it was lit up purple. The whole scene was so Southern California and gorgeous.

For dinner we dined at Harumama, an Asian eatery with sushi, ramen, and character steamed buns. I was drawn there for the Hello Kitty and Pooh Bear buns. I chose two of each. The kitty buns had Nutella inside and the Pooh Bear ones had a sweet egg custard filling. Both were sweet, delicious, and really adorable! But first, I had some sushi, a California Roll, which tasted fresh and flavorful. My husband loves a good bowl of ramen so he had the Fat Duck Ramen. It had Tonkotsu broth, duck chashu, bok choy, miso, and fried garlic. I tried a bite of the duck and it was really tender. To drink, I had a glass of Pinot Noir. Then it was time to head back to our room and crash for the night. The next day we were heading for LEGOLAND!
