For whatever reason, it occurred to me that I probably couldn't figure out where I've spent, specifically, even most of my 48 Thanksgiving dinners to this point.
But I figure I can be general:
1959-1970 - Primarily Marion, Indiana, where my grandparents lived, although it's possible that either Indianapolis or Muncie could have been the primary location.
1971-1983 - Pretty much Livermore, California, with one memorable trip to an Aunt's in Southern California, which became known as the "Windowshopping versus Notre Dame" controversy in our family.
1984-1989 - Various places in California. Rancho Cordova one year, Livermore for several of those years, probably Bakersfield, I don't really remember at this point.
1990 - Bahia, Brasil. I didn't have Thanksgiving dinner that year.
1991 - 2003 - Mechanicsburg, and then Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. We may have spent one of those holidays in DC, but again, not remembering much. Thanksgiving Day, 1991 was the day I proposed to my wife, and it is by far my most eventful and enduring Thanksgiving, and is the best reason I have to be thankful for this particular day.
2004 - Pittsburgh, PA - We all took a trip to goof around in the Steel City, and we had a lot of fun.
2005 - California. We decided to go to California for a couple week in November - my Dad was terminally ill, and it was a time for our kids to see him one last time before he passed. We had an early 70th birthday party for him at a local restaurant, there was a good number of family that flew out for it, and we all enjoyed our time together.
2006 - Camp Hill again - last year our house was torn up for remodeling, we ended up eating at Fire Mountain, a relatively decent buffet restaurant, before heading down to Colonial Williamsburg.
2007 - Camp Hill again.
