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...

A Stay at the Best Western Pier Point Inn in Florence, OR

During our trip to Florence, OR we stayed at the Best Western Pier Point Inn. Our favorite part about our room was the view of the Siuslaw River and the bridge. The sunrises, sunsets, and foggy mornings afforded us some nice views of nature. We had a balcony to sit outside and enjoy the scenery and fresh Oregon air. The first day we saw two deer and the last couple of days we watched boats with people fishing. The fish were really jumping like we'd never seen before. 

Another thing we liked about our hotel was the complimentary breakfast every morning. In the lobby, we gave them our order and they cooked some hot and fresh food for us to take back to our room. They had pancakes, sausages, potatoes, eggs, and oatmeal. The food was really good and I consumed way too many sausage links during out stay. 

The front desk called every morning to see if we needed anything. If we did, they dropped off a bag of whatever we needed. If we needed our room cleaned, we just gave them a time to do so. We appreciated the staff taking the necessary precautions to keep everyone safe and keep our room nice and clean. 


The view from the hotel parking lot of the river. The main area of Florence is just across the river. 


                                            I liked this nice water feature in front of the hotel. 

                                                     The neat looking bridge in Florence! We just had to drive across the bridge to get to the main part of town. 

                                   Some yummy and filling breakfast to start the day off right! 

                   A foggy morning in Florence, Oregon. The fog burned off about an hour later. 

                                                        Our room had two queen beds.

                              I always like when a hotel room has two sinks! Perfect for families.

                                                            Good morning, Florence! 

                                            Good morning, Florence, again! Another pretty sunrise! 

                        A really foggy morning and some people (hopefully) catching some fish!
