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...

Attending a Seattle Storm game at the Climate Pledge Arena

 My family and I recently attended a WNBA game, the Seattle Storm, at the Climate Pledge Arena. Our friends had extra tickets and we went with them. I was excited to check out the new arena, which opened in October. The Climate Pledge Arena used to be the Key Arena, and now is the most progressive, responsible, and sustainable arena in the world. Or at least, that's their goal. You can read more about it here. They're also home to the Seattle hockey team, the Seattle Kraken. 

They have a lot of rules for what you can and can't bring into the arena. I was glad my friend sent me the linkwith the info, otherwise I would have shown up with my camera and a camera bag. No cameras with lenses are allowed, so I took a bunch of photos on my smartphone. The photos turned out fine, and I was happy I could at least use my phone. No purses are allowed, so luckily my friend had an extra clear plastic bag. 

The food and drink prices are pretty steep, so grabbing a meal beforehand is a good idea. My sons didn't eat quite enough dinner, so we bought them each some Chicken Strips and Fries. The quality was good but they were expensive. I had a cookie from Treat cookies, a super cute cookie shop we've visited in Burien. It was an M&M cookie with butterscotch. 

The game was high energy and super fun! The Storm was playing Indiana and we ended up winning. The Storm is really good, and it was a fast-scoring game. We'd never been to a Storm game before and ended up having a blast. It was also really cool to see the new arena.
