During our heat wave we decided to Ride the Ducks in Seattle with our Dallas family.
Our driver was entertaining.
The ride takes you by some highlights of Seattle like the Seattle Wheel and the Hammering Man at the Seattle Art Museum.
For me the best part of the tour was rolling onto South Lake Union and motoring in the water.
The floating house from Sleepless in Seattle was pointed out to us.
I was more interested in the building right behind this boat garage. It’s where our daughter Katie was married a few years ago.
The heat and the stop and go movement of the duck bus got the best of dear little Andrew.
After having lunch we walked through the Seattle Center to get back to our parking garage.
It was great to have our Dallas crew here for the wedding and afterwards. So nice to spend time with Hope and Andrew and get to know little Andrew better.
I’m going to just do tours with my company on my own in the future instead of spending money on the Ducks! I can’t take them out on the water but I can get them to the hot spots in town in more comfort.
Well, it sure looked like a great idea!! But heat and motion are not always a good combination. Poor little Andrew!
I’d probably know the Sleepless in Seattle floating house on the tour. That movie is a favorite here. We have watched it a gazillion times.
Ah, I didn’t know there were Ducks on this coast. I’d seen them for the first time in Boston. Hurray for more time with your Dallas loved ones!
That’s too bad that it was uncomfortable. You’ll have to practice your entertaining commentary! Should be fun!
Ellen I can just imagine you as a tour guide – you would be great! The city of Seattle should hire you! Special memories made of not only the wedding but of the days that followed.
Oh dear! Perhaps if it had been a little cooler. Sure looks as if it would have been fun!
