The rush of the holidays and the dull period after them leads us to the President's Day vacations. Some families head south for the warmth, and others choose to enjoy the winter activities. It is the busiest time of year for ski resorts, but if you want to get away from it all and celebrate some history, these destinations are perfect for you!

Birthday Parade (Alexandria, Virginia) 

For those of you who don't know, that extra week off in February is not for no good reason. President's Day is a day we celebrate the birthdays of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln-- two of the most important men in American history. If you want to stay on the patriotic theme, this parade is a great place to take an aspiring historian. The city of Alexandria provides great family entertainment and this mini-vacation is sure to dazzle.

Explore a National Park (USA) 

Did you know that several national parks actually offer free admission on President's Day Weekend? It's the least they could do to pay tribute to the men who helped create them. Some parks like Yellowstone are very cold and under heavy snow at this time of year, so you might want to look to the west coast. Joshua Tree is a great destination! 

Historic Philadelphia (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) 

The city of Philadelphia has so much history that you can basically go through the entire revolutionary era in a single day. They have Independence Hall, the Constitution Center, the Betsy Ross House and the Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District. You can get lost in all the American History. 

Mohonk Mountain House (New Paltz, New York) 

This massive castle stands atop the Mohonk Mountains and it is a can't miss attraction. The views, the lake and the snow activities are great for the whole family and there is a spa for couples to relax and enjoy themselves. The castle has been owned by the same family since the Victorian era and their hospitality is second to none.
