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 Visit to the Museum of Flight

 My family and I recently visited the Museum of Flight in Seattle. I'd visited a few times before, but it was at night, during the first Thursdays of the month when the museum is free. After our most recent visit, I'd have to say I prefer visiting in the daytime. 

We ate lunch at the Wings Cafe. They have sandwiches, salads, and a kids' menu. I had a fresh and yummy Turkey Arugula Sandwich on Focaccia Bread. My husband had a sandwich with Roasted Beef on Focaccia, along with a Johnny Utah Pale Ale. It was a hoppy beer that reminded me of grapefruit! Our sons had a Peanut Butter and Jelly and a Hot Ham and Cheese. Both items come with chips and a drink. 

After eating lunch, we checked out the museum. The museum is big and takes at least two hours to walk through. For the first time at the Museum of Flight we were able to go across the street to the other part of the museum and check out the airplane hangar with the biggest planes in the world. The Concorde, Air Force One, Boeing 747, Boeing 777, and the Dream Liner were some of the planes we could actually go inside. My sons absolutely loved this part. Most kids would have a blast here! 

There's a lot of fun interactive stuff for kiddos. There's even a play area so kids can run around and also pose inside of helicopters and planes. I've always liked the Space exhibit, where you can see NASA stuff and learn more about the Moon Landing. 

On this visit, we were able to check out the Walt Disney Studios and World War 11 exhibit. No photography was aloud in the exhibit because of copyright. We weren't wowed by the exhibit. You can see it until Feb. 5th. 

We enjoyed out time at the museum! Our feet were tired by the time we left. There's a lot of walking involved, if you want to see everything. They have a really nice gift shop. It's really big and there's something for everyone. We bought a tasty malt chocolate bar with a cute plane logo. 

Definitely check out the Museum of Flight if you've never been! Go to their website for more info.
