Out&About | Fishes, food, and the district

taking selfies to a whole other level at the nat aq
So we said we were going to visit the Folklife Festival last week, and we went last Saturday... sort of (wow this is a week late oops). To be honest, we probably should've given it more of a chance, but walking in, there weren't really any extravagant shows or displays we were expecting, more like white tents everywhere. We can't really give a fair review of the festival because we didn't really try anything out. From a quick glance around we saw a lot of dancing and singing, but one thing that really captured our eyes was the huge "Chicken and Waffles" sign. (We'll save the more adventurous exotic stuff for next time, promise)

chicken - yes
waffles - yes
chicken & waffles - hyfr
We ordered a chicken and waffles classic, which was literally waffles with powdered sugar and chicken on top. We paired it with some savory BBQ sauce and syrup. Fried chicken dipped in maple syrup and waffles dipped in BBQ sauce are a lot better than you would expect!!

tastiest food on the block

Out&About | National Mall

#dreamteam

The first Friday of summer break, we went to DC to do touristy things while trying to act like we weren't really tourists. We saw the Folklife Festival being set up a week ago, and were originally going to spend most of our time at it... except it hadn't started yet oops (but we're going back next week!!)
