That way we can get the kids out of the car for a bit before we tackle the second half of the drive. We're staying at Paris which is pretty decent, but for some reason I've never had good luck in the casino there. Thanksgiving Dinner will be at the Bellagio buffet. Then it's back home again on Friday so we can skip the traffic.

The pre-brewing sample they gave me to taste was really not at all like the beer I ended up with, so I'm thinking either it was mislabled or ...
