Fall always makes me think of my home state. Virginia is always so beautiful in the fall, with all of the leaves changing colors and the crisp weather. My family usually spends Thanksgiving with my dad's family just outside of Richmond, but we're staying in Charleston this year instead. I was so bummed when my mom told me we would just be having turkey for Thanksgiving this year - usually we have turkey AND a salt-cured Virginia ham. And since I don't eat turkey, I was disappointed. My dad surprised us yesterday though with a ham! So now it will truly feel like Thanksgiving, even though we won't be in Virginia. What are some of your Thanksgiving traditions?
