Seattle Duck tour

While my uncles and aunts, Tammy and I were at Pikes Place Market we saw a few "Ducks" drive by.  Cathy had ridden on them in the past with her Red Hat group so we decided to go on a "Duck" tour when we saw the headquarters across the street from the Space Needle.

A "Duck" is a vehicle that can drive on the road and boat on water.  They drive around downtown Seattle and then boat on Lake Union.

After driving around the sights downtown Seattle we boated around Lake Union.

We got a good view of the Seattle skyline and the Space Needle.

We saw the houseboat (from a distance) that Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan used in the movie, "Sleepless in Seattle".  We were so far away (as the ""Duck" are restricted from getting close) I couldn't get a decent photo.

Here are photos of other houseboats we saw.

Our "Duck" driver was "Joquin DePlank". Along with pointing out the landmarks he told lots of corny jokes and played some fun music. Whenever we passed one of the numerous Starbucks cafes we all called out "Cha-king! Baby!" and made a downward motion with one arm as if we were ringing a bell.

The tour lasted about 90 minutes and we all had a fun time. 

Cathy was the only person on the tour to buy a quacker to make noise when having fun.  Cathy knows how to have fun even if the rest of us were to reserved to act goofy.

Here is a short video I took from the Duck.
