President's Day was originally created to celebrate George Washington's birthday, but it also makes a great excuse for a long weekend just when the February blues seem to hit most of the people in the country. Some people choose to spend the long weekend at home catching up on paperwork, but why not use it as an excuse for a fun mid-winter getaway?
