We go to Las Vegas and this is what we take a picture of. Snowmen at the Bellagio. Actually, they were really kind of interesting because they were made of carnations, seeds, and nuts.


More Christmas decorations in Las Vegas. What were we doing there other than looking at the decorations? Running the Las Vegas half marathon. We both achieved our goal of running the entire distance and finishing before the winner of the full marathon. I only saw one runner drinking a beer while running and another runner go into a McDonald's. Where was the camera when I really needed it?

Team R2D2K - Dan, Me, Dad, Mom, Molly, and Kevin. After a lot of waiting around and a little bit of running we finished the Fox Cities Marathon in record time. Well, a record for the team anyway. After a great finish this year I think we can win our division next year. Go team!

Driving home

Park like rest stop in Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia and NYC

Rocky!
Dan thinking very, very hard about something. As we were taking pictures of the statue a tour bus stopped in front of it so its riders could take pictures. I'm not sure we got out of the way in time so some very lucky tourists have pictures of me and Dan.
A cool church in NYC.
Dan in Central Park.
Me munching on the Statue of Liberty.

Baltimore

Dan's new bike!
This was taken from a park over looking the Inner Harbor in Baltimore. Just beyond the sand volleyball courts is a trapeze school.

At 448 ft. above sea level, this is the highest point in Delaware.

Independence Hall.
Inside Independence Hall. This room is where the Declaration of Independence was signed.
Liberty Bell.
Too bad bells don't have spell check.

Vacation - Day 2 and 3

We stopped in Huron, OH to visit Lake Erie. I need to visit Lake Huron and Lake Ontario and then I will have been to all of the great lakes.

Lake Erie.
Dan in Lake Erie cooling off his toes. The water was cool but tolerable.

Hershey Kiss shaped street lights in Hershey, PA. We visited Hershey's Chocolate World and learned how they make some of the different candies. After the tour we taste tested a possible new flavor of jelly bean, spicy peach.
