I've really enjoyed reading this thread, partly because Thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday of the entire year. I have Pilgrim blood in my veins from both my mom and dad who are retired up on the Cape. My mom's a tried and true Capee, my dad thinks he is, and my 98 year old grandmother is a washashore some 48 years now, so going to Cape Cod for a traditional Thanksgiving is the tradition (that is, weather permitting in 2002). We also find time to look through the volumes of old Cape pictures my dad has and the stories that go with them and usually find time for a "nature walk" somewhere (Wellfleet out towards Jeremy Point being the preferred spot). I finally got my dad into fishing, so we'll rally the troops and target some spots along Bass River from the railroad bridge to the mouth and see if we can't start a new schoolie tradition, too.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone. Enjoy and have a safe holiday.
