Nate Assignment 14

My family really has no distinct Thanksgiving traditions. Yes we eat Turkey and stuffing and all the things you're supposed to eat on Thanksgiving, but there's no yearly Dutch tradition around that time. The closest thing to what you could call a tradition is our recent trend of visiting my aunt, uncle, and cousins in Chicago. The past 4 years, we have spent Thanksgiving at their house in Deerfiield, IL about 20 minutes north of Chicago (considered part of the greater metropolitan area of Chicago for those of you saying I didn't really go to Chicago.) It is a very convenient location because it is located     right between my family, who lives in Lexington obviously; my brother, who lives in Madison, WI; and my grandparents, who live in Lansing, MI. Their house is also spacious enough to accommodate a large number of people. We have a lot that we can do every year there. It's about 10 minutes away from Evanston, my birthplace, and of course we also have the city. Best of all, we have the best pizza in the world! Hard to beat that.
