Hey Twilight fans: this is Edward's "fancy" car

Desk duck watching the fountian show at the Bellagio

No, I'm not in Paris

Cool Building

I'm not sure this will work, but here is a video of snack time.

Check out this strange lap

Can you caluclate the sales tax in Las Vegas?

Snack time!

Tornado?

Shopping at Tiffany's

This is way better than the kid's pool back home!



It's too bad the temperature is only 44 degrees outside, this place looks like it could be fun for a duck. What is the weather like back home?

I hope they brought their snow shovels!

How far?!?



Mrs. Elletson just broke the news to me that Vegas is pretty far away. I looked on a map to try and estimate the amount of time we will be traveling, but she told me that doesn't really help because we are flying on a plane. (Doesn't she remember how I get airsick? I'm more of a floating duck and less of a flying one.) I'm trying to get her and Dane to reconsider this whole flying thing, but she told me the time estimate on the map doesn't include breaks, eating, or sleeping. Can you help me figure out how long it would take to travel by car? I think we should stop and rest for 15 minutes every 3 hours, eat on the go to save time, and bunk down for 9 hours overnight. If we travel 60 miles per hour, when would we arrive?

Heading for the airport!


After a yummy breakfast, I'm off to Kansas City! Mrs. Elletson is busy reading her book, trying to meet her reading goal for the year. Rumor has it that she'll give an update her progress after the new year.
