Thanksgiving in New England – Visiting the MFA

Standard

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…

I adore the Boston Museum of Fine Art.

I went so often as a kid, and had so many little favorite spots, that it holds a special place in my heart to this day – regardless of how far away I may live. Being able to share some of that joy and excitement with Andrea was a goal for this trip, and it was a goal we successfully achieved.

We popped in on our own, wandered, and explored.

We found the model ship exhibit, Andrea saw the traveling exhibition, and goggled at the unexpected dollhouse. I adored the landscapes, and we enjoyed taking our time to explore… and to share opinions and appreciation.

Yeah. I like the MFA.

After Thanksgiving? Friendsgiving!

As with our first Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving was magical. Great table settings, excellent food, good friends, and excellent times. Good memories and happy times!



Thanksgiving in New England – It’s finally Thanksgiving!

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.
