Title: How far are you traveling for Thanksgiving?
Post by: sommap on November 21, 2011, 08:45:54 am
About 30 miles for me.  We do the big dinner at one of my daughters.  I quite often go on WEdnesday to help get everything ready.  I plan on coming home thursday night, but we shall see what happens.

About 30 yards to the dining room table. One son is driving about 2 hours and another an hour, but most are going to the in-laws this year. Then we have one on the opposite coast and one in Alaska that works every Thanksgiving as a chef.

Hopefully an hour away, if I can get my Mom to travel that far.

I'm heading about 150 miles away to celebrate the T-day with my family. Ever since I relocated to a new job I haven't been able to see them very much. The first few days are supposed to be a bit rainy so we'll probably have a few days to just hang out inside!

I've got you beat!
I've only got 15 feet to go to my parents kitchen.
Of course I wish---and I can't believe I'm saying this--that I had to travel farther; but such is the state of the economy these days.

Maybe a 20 minute drive for myself. I go to Uncle's place for Thanksgiving every year. Family members who also participate range from around 15 minutes to a couple hour drive.

Approximately 600+ miles.  Do I win the distance prize?

All my family (except me and my fiance) live in TN.  We live up near Cleveland OH.   ;D

I won't have to travel very far for Thanksgiving.  I have to work that day till 12:30 pm.  When I get off work I am going over to my grand daughter's house and since I work at Walmart I have to be at work 2 am on black Friday.  Not much rest for the weary.  LOL.  Hope everyone has a great day and may God Bless each of you and keep you safe.

My hubby and I decided to stay home this year and have Thanksgiving on our own.  Sometimes it is nice to just have a dinner with your immediate family although it is nice to see the in-laws and relatives for the holidays.
