We have started a family tradition of visiting the New York Eggers (Rick, Ingrid, Katie, and Mark) every five years for Thanksgiving. I'm pretty sure this may have started as a joke five years ago but I'm here to tell you, we made it look easier this year (still need some practice). Can't wait until 2021!
To make sure we didn't spend too much time together we do stay in a hotel downtown. We got to meet Katie and Jared's two dogs in Central Park, hit some pubs, and even snuck in a show or two on Broadway.
On Thanksgiving we started early with the Macy's Day parade (way too many people) and then took the Long Island Express in the afternoon out to the burbs for turkey and family.
As if that wasn't enough we followed everything up with one more day downtown which included a very nice family dinner at an Italian restaurant. A subset of us broke off that evening to attempt an Escape the Room challenge. I can honestly say we were never going to get out of that room and will probably be beating ourselves up for the next couple years (Waterloo!!!).
