It is about 45 minutes away.

The farthest we would go is 2.5 hours. But this year we are going camping! We bought everything to make a turkey dinner... Hopefully it works out and we aren't eating sandwiches! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-somewhere-or-staying-home-for-thanksgiving#post-2368123 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 11:49:51 +0000 Kimberlybee 2368123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're staying home this year and having roasted/ smoked turkey legs instead of a full turkey. I need this long weekend to clean and declutter for baby #2 arriving in about 6 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-somewhere-or-staying-home-for-thanksgiving#post-2368118 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 11:48:22 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2368118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Headed to my parents' house, which is just under 2 hrs away. Traveling, but we go there at least one weekend a month, so not really a big trip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-somewhere-or-staying-home-for-thanksgiving#post-2368116 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 11:45:13 +0000 chopsuey 2368116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had to cancel travel plans last minute, so staying home for thanksgiving 🤗 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-somewhere-or-staying-home-for-thanksgiving#post-2368113 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 11:44:11 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 2368113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We switch off years, so this year we traveled to see my family. We did a 13 hr road trip and will be here for a little over a week. Next year we'll likely stay home for Thanksgiving (but perhaps travel at Christmas). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-somewhere-or-staying-home-for-thanksgiving#post-2368049 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 11:06:57 +0000 PawPrints 2368049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither. We live across the country from both families so we gave up on spending Thanksgiving with family years ago. We have a ton of local friends in the same boat so we always get together. We'll be "traveling" about 3/4 mile from our house to this year's get-together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-somewhere-or-staying-home-for-thanksgiving#post-2368045 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 11:04:45 +0000 mrsjyw 2368045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going to my in-laws for thanksgiving, but we live one town over from them, so not really "traveling."</p> <p>We usually host Thanksgiving with my extended family and my in-laws join us; and I'm so HAPPY WE'RE NOT THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-somewhere-or-staying-home-for-thanksgiving#post-2368027 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 10:54:24 +0000 Ree723 2368027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: @regberadaisy: I know! I'm quite excited, although bizarrely enough, a bit nervous too! Not sure what to say to 3 yr olds about Thanksgiving..... Also, it will be interesting to see if they like pumpkin pie - my girls don't and won't even try it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-somewhere-or-staying-home-for-thanksgiving#post-2368001 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 10:41:34 +0000 regberadaisy 2368001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: that's adorable!!!!</p> <p>We're traveling to my family's for thanksgiving.
