Paris

 Paris

      Time for a three day layover in Vegas.  We took Allegiant airlines and they fly to certain cities twice a week.  We stayed in the Paris hotel.  We had a great view from our room, but had dirty windows to obscure a good picture.

        When I was little, we made a long 4 hour drive to north Iowa to see my mom's family.  On the way there, we had to go though the town of Tama, where the Meskwaki indian reservation was.  I alway thought it would be neat to visit the reservation and see what there was there.  This time we finally went to see the museum.  We also visited their casino so I could get a players card to add to my collection of casino cards.
