Burgh Perfect Staycation Step #1: Quack!
At the very moment that it became clear that I wasn't going to have the privilege of quacking my quacker like a quacking idiot, I thought to myself, "Other in-laws are coming soon. MUST. RESCHEDULE." I began stalking The Weather Channel, determinedly looking for a day that was sure to guarantee sunny skies and a total and complete lack of Just Ducky cancellations. That day of surety came, and with it brought reservations that were sure to guarantee that my butt would be sitting in one of those bizarre vehicles and having a great time quacking around.
I quacked.
And I loved it.
I have approximately 230 photos from the trip. (No, really, I have over 230 photos from the Just Ducky tour. Hello, my name is Dork and I am a Japanese tourist.) Amongst those 230+ photos are a few of the Toddler, but none of them quite capture just how much she enjoyed the tour. I love that my kid is a Japanese tourist, too.
I think our driveway would be infinitely cooler if it had one of those bad boys in it. Somebody needs to make that happen, and pronto.
Quack!

Fantastic pictures. LOVE the one with her hair blowing across her face...
And I need a green Duck Tours bus thingy too! It would so up my cred with the kids over the crap mobile!!
That look so fun. We have got to go do that.
The shot of her hair is fantastic!!
LOVE her dress! And the shot of her all snuggled. So where do you get one of those vehicles?
OH I LOOOOOVE her dress!!!! Where did you get it?!
You take such beautiful pictures!I just love the one of her looking to her left with the water behind her.She is so pretty.I think pics like that,the ones where they aren't looking at you are really great.I love the one of her hair blowing across her face also.Great job on those pics!
The driveway would definately be cool with a big green duck bus!
Looks like you all are having a great time.Enjoy the rest of staycation LOL.
I love the sleeping picture of the Toddler.
I always thought it would be cool to have the Mystery Machine in my driveway.
Those are some awesome photographs and I have to say I'm jealous -- I'd love to take our local duck tour, but I've not got up the nerve! LOL
perfectly captured!!!!! We have Duck Tours in our city- and I feel as though I need to jump on the bandwagon and just DO.IT.
We need to ride our duck here in Seattle too. The kids would love it.
What a good Burgh. You give her the organic milk. I give you props! Glad you fun on the Just Ducky tour.
I heard that the bus from Dumb and Dumber sold on ebay for over 20K...you could totally get a quacker ducky bus in your driveway for less than that!
Awww...grandma equals squishy comfy sleep. I love that.
Oh look at her all passed out. HOW CUTE!!
Glad you had fun on your ducky tour. And geez, take some pictures wouldja? ; )
We booked two duck boats between our wedding and reception (do to bad planning there was 3-4hr between them) to haul the wedding party and out of town guests around for awhile. It was quite alot of fun quacking in a wedding dress!
Oh that looks like fun!!
OMG. Must. Take. BigBrother. STAT.
Yeah, cool bus. Seriously great shots.
omigod, i am quacking up!
looks like a blast. if (when) i end up visiting the burgh, you TOTALLY have to take me on this!
Could Alexis look ANY cuter in that polka dotted dress?
Hallie
I knew it! Just remember who did it first - HA! I mean QUACK!
She fell asleep?! It's a ONE HOUR TOUR. Lightweight.
We wanted to do one of those in Boston, but were too impatient to wait. We went to a brewery instead. In our defense though, we had already walked part of the Freedom Trailso we were totally without any cultural input for the day.
Oh, yeah...I drive one of those... (she said, sounding uber cool.) lol
I love the picture of her sleeping. That's too sweet!
I just saw that we've got those tours in DC! I'm totally doing it with our next visitors (or maybe we'll go anyway).
Love Alexis's dress. It's gorgeous on her!
I'm loving the toddler mullet in these photos. That mullet is the cutest one I've ever seen.
As for the duck tour? I have seen them but haven't ever done them ... after this rousing endorsement, though, I may have to contemplate one ...
I love that picture of her sleeping in her Grandma's arms.
Treasure these days!
I guess I'm a dork, too, 'cause I'd be all over that duck.
I love taking those duck tours. I think it is so cool when you just start driving into the water. Oh yeah, the girls like it too.
I'm pretty sure that I need to "do" Pittsburgh someday. Apparently I'm lame and loser-ish and haven't even done the tired dinner cruises.
Gavin saw this earlier in my reader and promptly pointed out the "cow milk-juice" that Alexis is holding. Not Alexis, mind you, but the dang milk that he's obsessed with.
Very cool pics. I can see why you like the one with Alexis and her grandma so much. :)
and did Caramama say we now have some sort of Duck tour in DC? Hot damn! Now I have something to do the next time someone is in town instead of subjecting them to countless viewings "Bee Movie".
