Thanksgiving in New England – It’s finally Thanksgiving!

Posted on by

Thanksgiving! Last year, Thanksgiving was a bit too busy for me to fly back to the United States… classes, and general insanity, conspired to keep me in Dublin. Which, frankly, was a perfectly lovely time with friends and classmates. 2025, however, had none of those challenges… and thus, saw Andrea and I winging our way to New England for a well-deserved holiday…

Well. We’re finally here in the story – Thanksgiving!

We drove up from New York City. We had snacks, but we mainly saved our appetites… and when we arrived? That decision was absolutely the right one.

Infinite amazing food. Infinite smells, intense excitement, and all the happy greetings.

There’s not really much to say here – it was Thanksgiving, everything I could have asked for or hoped to have. Andrea, my family, all meshed together into a happy and excited pile of catching up, trading stories, eating great food and going for lovely walks.

Seriously – I adore Thanksgiving.

Maybe Happy Ending was an amazing play – beautiful sets, excellent songs, and an incredibly interesting story.

Chess was a play, that I saw in New York, on Broadway. It had songs, a set, and a story.

…

I can’t really say much more than that. I mean, “One night in Bangkok city” was super fun, but… yeah. Chess was a play that we saw. I mean, I’m happy about going to see it! But… I don’t think I’d see it again.

Still.

Broadway is cool.

Our second day in New York City was mainly aimed at seeing a matinee on Broadway… but until that started, we had a bit of free time to explore.

Thus – we explored!

Andrea had a few spots that she wanted to explore on her own, so my Mom and I headed out, forging into the city with the goal of… Well, with the goal of just forging into the city.

As such? We forged into the city!
