I love that the Rubber Duck has a page where you can review him!
What else can you say about the duck other than the fact that he is awesome?! What is not to love about a giant rubber duck? Stories about the duck indicated that the artist wanted to create something that reminded us of the whimsy of childhood. Mission accomplished.
I first saw the duck on the night of his debut. Downtown was bustling with activity as there were several events going on (along with the duck's arrival and bridge party). I was giddy with excitement as we approached him. It was a picture perfect evening and he looked incredible with PNC Park as a backdrop. It was nice to see so many boaters paying him a visit as well.
I was fortunate to see the duck every morning on my way in to work. And it brought a smile to my face ever time.
Confession time. I loved the duck so much that when we heard his next appearnce was in Norfolk, VA, we made arrangements to pick up the nieces and nephews and take a road trip to visit him. Still brought me just as much joy. Maybe even more since I also had the experience of sharing him with kids.
I hope he makes a return to Pittsburgh soon!
