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.

Checking out Golden Gardens and some eats at Little Coney


                         Run, don't walk, and get a soft serve cone from Little Coney. Just hurry and eat it right away, it melts fast!                           

The weather's been warm and gorgeous in Seattle. So we decided to visit Golden Gardens, which is up north near Ballard. They have a beautiful beach with lots of views of the water. The area is called Shilshole Bay which is part of Puget Sound. The sailboats on the water were so pretty and I happily snapped away with my camera.

 I had seen online about the fun soft serve ice cream cones at a cafe, Little Coney, located by the park at the marina. They have a walk-up window and they serve burgers, hot dogs, fries, and basically beach food. The Cheeseburgers and fries were just alright, but our soft serve was really tasty. It melted super fast, so it was hard to enjoy. Be sure to order a cup and spoon with your cone and you'll have a much better time. We had a lot of fun getting out of our own neighborhood for a few hours and heading to a different part of Seattle. Summer doesn't last long in these parts, so you gotta get out and explore while you can!
