Excited! New thanksgiving plans....

SIL emailed DH, their parents and I to see if we wanted to try something different for Thanksgiving this year.

Years past, we drove 5 hours up to MN for dinner at SIL's, slept over and returned home late Friday.  It was fine but so time consuming and I felt it was so rushed, especially with his parents because they can never stay late because of their 1 hour drive home in the dark.

So now it was suggested we get a 3 bedroom suite at a nearby water park/hotel that's 1 hour away for us!

It's like a mini vacation without the 10 hour drive in a car.

YAY!

If we could go away for every holiday I would love it!

Awesome! We're doing something similar this year and I am super excited about it!

Oh man, it's always hard to make that first suggestion about completely changing traditions, but YAY! So glad your SIL did!

That sounds so FUN and not at all stressful.

The other alternative was for me to finally host it! It was tempting but no. Thanksgiving buffet, s'mores and hayrides instead!

That sounds perfect!!

Update: It's on!

Everyone agreed and we are set to go! Yes!
