Mr (and Mrs) Decent Go To Washington

With all the cold and snow that is a typical Chicago winter, it's no wonder we've decided to escape to pastures new to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary tomorrow. Where should we go over this exciting weekend? Where could be more romantic than Valentine's Day in Paris? Or how about bringing in the Chinese New Year in Hong Kong?
Since we've been there and done that, we've concentrated on the fact that tomorrow is also Abraham Lincoln's birthday and Monday, President's Day. So with that in mind, I'm proud to announce that tomorrow morning we're heading off for our first visit to Washington D.C.
For people living the American dream, it seemed the perfect place. Plus it's usually at least a little milder than Chicago. Should have known if we picked it, they'd have record breaking snowfall and be under a state of emergency. Wonder if you're allowed to take snow shovels in your carry on luggage?
