Where Will You Celebrate Our 44 Leaders?

Woo-hoo, Presidents Day! OK, we know this isn't the most exciting travel holiday (and in fact, maybe the least), but a holiday's a holiday, so why not get away? Plus, Saturday is Valentine's Day, which sounds like a good excuse to take an extra day and make it a four-day weekend. But where to go?

Travelocity has a funny list of Obama-themed weekend destinations. Barack's native Hawaii and childhood haunts in Indonesia sound a little far fetched for the weekend (and the economy) but DC is more like it. If you missed Obama when he was staying at the Hay-Adams Hotel just before inauguration, you can catch a room there for a much cheaper $299 this weekend. No idea if you can ask for the Barack and Michelle suite but if you have the nerve, let us know what they say.

For a more old-school celebration of the presidents, Colonial Williamsburg is offering lodging in their historic country houses from $102 a night.

Of course, everything is still cheap, cheap, cheap, wherever you want to travel right now, presidential or not. What are you booking for prez day? Using it as an excuse for an extended trip? Or broke and sticking with a staycation?

I want to do this

http://www.valleyforge.org "During that frigid winter of 1777, Washington's army had few choices when it came to lodging. A flimsy tent perhaps or -- for a lucky few -- a primitive log cabin. From such humble origins our great nation arose, and we invite you to relive the drama of that momentous struggle. But, unlike those brave soldiers, you're able to choose from a fantastic variety of accommodations. Rely on the Valley Forge Convention and Visitors Bureau to help you select the best Philadelphia area hotels."
