Time is another element in traveling for a short period of time like Thanksgiving too though. It takes an entire day to get here from California, because you lose three hours! Renting a U-Haul to get her out there with a three day drive is a little overwhelming to me too, admittedly. Chicago is a one hour flight or a 5 hour train ride or drive in comparison. NYC is a longer drive, for sure, but still doable in one day. She doesn't seem that interested in going quite that far away either, which is ok with me.
