Happy Presidents’ Day Weekend!

Or maybe not…the official title of Monday’s holiday has actually been “George Washington’s Birthday” since its establishment in 1879. 

Never mind that this holiday hasn’t fallen on Washington’s actual birthday in nearly fifty years or that a certain 16th President also celebrates his big day this month (more on that here).  Grab a slice of cake and tip your party hats to our first President and the 43 that have come after him - including Our Presidents’ own fab thirteen!
