As the nation celebrates President’s Day it would be nice to be able to peruse the letters and writings of our founding fathers for a little patriotic inspiration. Unfortunately, the complete writings, 341 volumes ranging from 600-800 pages, won’t be available till 2049.

Of course, that means that there will probably be more cars on the road. Particularly during this holiday weekend, traffic and parking was a nightmare for drivers, but a boom for many hotels across the area. The Miami International Boat Show coupled with the fact that many up North use the long weekend to escape the snow and get a tan, created completed booked hotels that were charging up to double what they normally cost. Let’s not forget, either, that this weekend was a 4 night stay as opposed to the the regular two.
