Why is that week so popular?
Most of March is probably busy too due to spring breaks?
Is the weather usually favorable most of February? Just looking at some options..Thanks~

School kids from NY and MA (not NH we are week later ) plus others have that week as vacation

NE kids get two breaks the one week in Feb and one week in April with the April break called Spring break

Oh! I didn't realize that. We just get the Monday off...and have a week off in March for spring break. Thanks!
Is February weather pretty nice usually?

February is great weather and a lot of people get president's day as a holiday so it's just became of the peak weeks. It's also close to Valentines Day so what a great gift to give

Crowded! ny, nj, Ct and PA (i think) all have that week-- it's nuts! but gorgeous.....

I think you mean CROWDED!!! We went in February once and that's enough for me. We had heavy surf on the northshore beaches and consequently the south shore beaches were mobbed with people and parking in town was NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. Since my husband has a "thing" about paying for parking going into town was not fun. Since that experience wait a few weeks and go after the rates go down in April, May or June.

We go away every year for President's week...one person in our party is a teacher in Boston and that's just the way it is. We always have a good time, good weather and though more crowded than other times, it's still better than being at home:)
