Until you don't know the difference between Trump and Clinton.
Gonna take quite a lot of drinking for that to happen. Even then, CM will still be able to tell them apart.

Plus he used to be her biggest fan before he had a change in heart and did her in.

I was thinking more along the lines of Ivanka being Esther & being a descendant would thus make him Mordechai :)

Purim in JLM is probably something worth seeing, it's only 2 days (one day outside JLM, one day in JLM)
I think it goes into Shabbos this year, should be fun. Last time we had this schedule there was a DDS Motzi Shabbos.

Any major holidays to avoid during those months?

Pesach is March 30-April 7. Other than around that, March-May should have good weather and shoulder season pricing.
From Rosh Chodesh Nissan until Pesach you'll have litterly no tourists anywhere

Any suggestions on good places to spend a couple of hours when traveling with an infant?

Indeed. Can you ask JTZ if he was invited at the end for a shabbos meal? Did they make him wear a kippah? Did they try to convert him towards the end?

I read the whole thread hoping to see 12HRS be stopped on the way out of IL, but it was a scam.  >:(
