Tumwater, Washington was the place to be for Thanksgiving in 2024.

It was a wonderful gathering with the proper fixin's for all the Pacific Northwest Suneson family. My daughter Inga booked a seat on Amtrak to carry her from her place in Portland up to Stanwood Station, only 6 miles from my front door on The Pilchuck. Inga arrived on the evening of the 26th since all of the seats for a day-before-Thanksgiving train trip on November 27th had already been sold.
The two of us drove the 106 miles down to Sheri's home on Thanksgiving morning carrying a large Costco pumpkin pie (only $5.99! - I'm all about value) and a bag of sad, heavy stones, which was my failed attempt at making my mother's cornmeal yeast rolls. Also gathering at sister Sheri's was my almost-94 year old father, sister Wendy and husband Barth including one of their sons, Brian, his wife Amy and their two young girls, ages 3 and 8 months.
The other part of my family was in Texas for Thanksgiving, my wife and son gathered with our daughter-in-law at her parents home in The Woodlands, north of Houston. I hear it was a great place to be as well. Just can't be in two places at once.
