I know I'm late getting these posts up, so I thought I would start with the beginning.
I picked my dad up in Boston on Monday, November 23. After driving and walking around downtown Boston, lost, for a while, we found our dinner place and met up with Stuart, who was in Boston visiting his brother.
The next day my mom drove up from Maryland, where she just finished up a pet nanny job. It was so great having my parents here, and we spent the first couple days catching up and touring around our little town.
We all had a great Thanksgiving dinner the following Thursday.
Ava waiting for her Thanksgiving dinner. She was NOT fed at the table!
We had turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean cassarole, rolls, cranberry sauce, and three pies for dessert!
She really wanted some turkey, but she was being pretty polite.
Joe did the dishes after dinner. What a guy!
The following weekend, we took a trip up to Plymouth, Massachusetts to visit the location of the first Thanksgiving. We got to tour the Mayflower, tour the plantation, and then eat a feast that was similar to the first Thanksgiving meal. It was pretty cool.

The recreation of the Native Village at the Plymouth Plantation. These people have Native heritage and answered our questions about the tribes.

Good food, and lots of it!
