President's Day

Rushmore
Nick Tiberi

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. Still, the good news is that you’re in Florida where highway commuters will be spending less of those little green papers with the President’s faces on it. 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.
