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.

The only problem was drinking it and then going hiking meant having to take advantage of the porta potties before and after the hike. Awww, the things we do for bubble tea.
