thanksgiving

           This year for Thanksgiving, my family and I are going to New York City and Boston, Massachusetts. Usually we would spend Thanksgiving break going to our family and extended families houses, but nearly all of our families houses were impacted and destroyed in the flood. My mom thought it would be fun to leave "the flood" behind for a while and what better way to get our minds of the flood then to travel. The other reason we are visiting these cities is so that my sister can tour some of the ivy league colleges.
            I think I am going to really miss some of my families Thanksgiving traditions though. We always have a big dinner with my whole family and it is so much fun to eat and enjoy each other's company. This year, everything is different because of the flood and some of my family is in the hospital right now. This year I am still thankful for this experiences because they help me to learn new things and to be a better person.
