Wealthy Travelers

As a young girl growing up on the southeastern coast in Virginia, I remember trick or treating at Halloween on cold, crisp evenings, and walking through the crunchy leaves.  But as soon as Halloween was over, it was time to think about Thanksgiving.  New England vacations at Thanksgiving would be a perfect time to experience the area where Thanksgiving began.  

The memories of Thanksgiving as a child was of cold, crisp, grey days; clouds hanging low as if snowflakes would be falling any moment.  The trees still had some dull, fall foliage, but there was an air of anticipation and excitement as preparation began for all the holiday fare.  And the aromas drifting on the breeze of roasting turkey and stuffing, pumpkin pie and all the other seasonal dishes cooking just added to the anticipation of this delightful holiday.  The words to the song “Over the river and through the woods, to grandmother’s house we go” fit Thanksgiving in New England….or for that matter….ANYWHERE in the U.S…..perfectly.  Enjoy the holiday season and consider celebrating Thanksgiving in New England.
