Rubber Ducky

Sunday, December 13, 2009

This evening Delius Restaurant in Signal Hill sponsored "The Rubber Ducky Tour". It is an amphibious that holds 48 people. Drives through Long Beach down to the boat launch at Los Alamitos Bay and goes into the water. We motored around the bay looking at all the houses that were decorated for Christmas and then returned to the restaurant. Everyone brought a bottle of wine and small plates of cheese and crackers were served. This was quite the festive event. Everyone was issued a "rubby ducky "mouth piece that made a quaking sound. And I thought my great-grandchildren were obnoxious. On the way back songs were sung and a few brave souls got up to dance in the aisle. Between the lurching of the vehicle and too much vino it was quite a sight. For $20 it was a cheap evening and a lot of fun. Getting on and off this contraption was a feat. The ladder is almost straight up and very narrow steps. Going up wasn't bad but coming down was a different game.
