Families Make Pilgrimage To Plymouth On Thanksgiving

PLYMOUTH (CBS) - Thanksgiving is a time to be with family, and many families decide they should make a pilgrimage to where it all began.

"It was a good opportunity to see some of the historical sites and teach our children about the Pilgrims," said one woman from Los Angeles.
