Celebrate as the French Do!

If you asked me about myself I would say that I’m a well rounded person. Why you ask? Well I’ve been lucky enough to live in Arlington and so close to D.C. The area we live in is so vast in cultures and experiences that I have the opportunities to grow as a person because of them.  America is known as the melting pot and I certainly believe that’s true. Washington D.C. is proof of the pudding too. You have different embassies around every corner and others are celebrating their heritage. Personally I think it’s great to learn about others’ heritage. Mostly because I love knowing the random trivia! (haha)

Our next international holiday is from the French! Bastille Day, the celebration of the Storming of the Bastille!  So why not celebrate as the French do and enjoy their day of Independence?  Events will be around all over the upcoming weekend and next week. Personally I like to keep it low-key with friends and celebrate what the French best are known for! Their food!

This year I’ll be visiting Fontaine Caffe and Creperie off of 119 S. Royal St. I cannot wait to taste the celebration. There will be crepes, salads and other French favorites! I cannot wait to enjoy a warm hearty crepe and a dessert crepe afterward. What will you being doing on Bastille Day?
