GET OUT: Zoo Discount, Bon Jovi Concert, Wine Expo

If you don't think there's anything fun to do for the last weekend of February, you aren't looking hard enough.

It's the last weekend in February, so why not go out in style? You can jam to Bon Jovi in the nation's capital, or do something more subdued like attend a wine festival.
