We live in an amazingly historic area in a state that rightly claims many historic firsts. Oddly, Thanksgiving eluded Virginia. Despite the first official Thanksgiving taking place at the site of Berkley Plantation in 1619, a year before they even landed at Plymouth Rock, thoughts and stories about the holiday always focus on the Pilgrims and Massachusetts. Perhaps, they had better PR.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Turkey Day to you too.
