As we left the festival, fully intending to go to the BBQ Battle on Penn Ave., we wandered through the Sculpture Garden to find the large fountain an oasis for weary tourists like ourselves. We joined a family from Texas and some Polish visitors by putting our feet in the cool water. Overcome by the desire to go swimming, we gave up on the barbeque (with its concentrated heat on the pavement) for the comfort of the pool (with the cool water).
How had I missed such a wonderful oasis in the middle of the Mall’s desert?

I enjoy watching baseball, cooking, and gardening. I grow a mean pepper, keep a clean scorebook, and wash the dishes when I’m done. Read Why I Love DC.
