Ready for Thanksgiving? If that question makes your blood pressure head in an upwards direction, make this the year you forgo stressing about pumpkin pie recipes and how many guests your dining room can accommodate. Instead, head out of town and escape to one of these holiday-friendly destinations — and be sure to make dinner reservations before you begin packing.
