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 Oxford Suites in Silverdale, WA

 For our overnight to the Poulsbo and Silverdale area we stayed at Oxford Suites in Silverdale. We stayed at the one in Spokane Valley last summer and we really enjoyed it. They have free breakfast, parking, an on-site bistro and bar, and a pool. Plus, their bathrooms are spacious and the rooms are really comfortable. I though we were going to have a view of a parking lot, or part of the town, but we had a nice view of the water. 

We relaxed in our room for a while, then we had dinner in the bistro. We got complementary drinks since we'd stayed at Oxford Suites before. I had a glass of Pinot Noir and my husband had a Miller Light. I had Alfredo Pasta with Chicken and he had the Fish and Chips. Our sons had Chicken Strips and Fries. After dinner, my son and I went to the pool. It was nice and quite and we were the only swimmers there. The pool was cold, so we soaked in the hot tub. We love to go back and forth from the pool to the hot tub. I've heard that's good for your circulation, too. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset from our room. The moon also looked really pretty. 

The next day we went downstairs for breakfast. It was set up like a buffet and we grabbed a tray. We grubbed on French toast, muffins, potatoes, and cereal. My boys ate so much, they weren't hungry for lunch. It started raining, so we decided to just drive home. There were some parks we wanted to explore but we didn't have rain gear and we figured the playground would be wet. 

We made it back to Seattle around 11 am. We really enjoyed our stay at Oxford Suites. It was fun and relaxing!
