Happy Presidents Day!

Happy Presidents Day!

Today Americans celebrate the history of their Democratic process by honoring our Presidents, past and present.

All over New York City there are tributes to the Presidents. Today's project in the scavenger hunt is too snap off a picture of an object that has been named after a U.S. President.

Remember when you are searching that you do not have to think of statues or monuments, there are many other ways our Presidents are honored.

I got things started here by submitting a photo I took from a cross-country road trip I was on a year and a half ago. Created with Dynomite, Mt. Rushmore honors former Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt.

UPDATE: Some pics submitted via Facebook by Victor Abew.

The Teddy Bear (Named after Teddy Roosevelt)

Monrovia, Liberia (After President James Monroe)
