He&#8217;s more of a Qdoba kind of guy. I love the taco selection at DT, though. I also like the thick queso with kick. And, they have great desserts that they serve in cute, little mason jars (like the one the containing the queso in the picture above). We were good and skipped dessert this time, though. Plus, they were really busy. We almost left and ate somewhere else because there weren&#8217;t any open tables. I&#8217;m glad we waited a bit though, because I really wanted to help Dress for Success even though in a very small way. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/28567960945\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img src=\"https:\/\/c2.staticflickr.com\/9\/8511\/28567960945_81ced4afa8.jpg\" width=\"480\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We walked off our lunch by walking along Douglas and hunting for Pok\u00e9mon. It was over 100 degrees that day so we were a bit nuts but we&#8217;re kind of addicted to the game. We got Rita&#8217;s Italian Ice to cool us off a bit and I actually managed to talk Brian to checking out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wichita.edu\/thisis\/aboutus\/pokemongo\/pokemongo.asp\"  target=\"_blank\">Wichita State University campus<\/a> as well. <\/p>\n<p>The WSU campus was a bit disappointing. They had a lot of stops and there were five gyms but not really any rare Pok\u00e9mons. Actually, there were hardly any mons that popped up for us. By far, the best place I&#8217;ve found for Pok\u00e9mon hunting is down by the river. The Keeper of the Plains area is always hopping with Magikarp and Psyducks, and has been buzzing with people (fellow Pok\u00e9mon trainers presumably) since the game was released last month. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/28198766280\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/9\/8077\/28198766280_d0c205ca27.jpg\" width=\"480\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here are some pictures of us hunting Pok\u00e9mon downtown. This photo was taken a couple of weeks ago at the ICT Pop Up Urban Park, one of my most favorite places for hunting Pok\u00e9mon because it&#8217;s got four Pok\u00e9 stops all in the same vicinity. I was actually walking back and forth along the block to hatch some eggs and I ran into Rolo when I sat the the corner of Douglas and Main to take a break.  <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/28451005106\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img src=\"https:\/\/c3.staticflickr.com\/9\/8561\/28451005106_055af88326.jpg\" width=\"480\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re going to be really busy this coming week so we won&#8217;t have time to hit the hot spots but we will definitely keep you guys posted next time we&#8217;re out Pok\u00e9mon hunting and perhaps we can all meet up.
