Station Square - Family Visit

My parents and brother were in town a few weeks ago. We went on a Just Ducky tour of Pittsburgh, which is something I've always wanted to do. We only seem to do this type of stuff when friends/family come to visit. The Just Ducky tour is on a vehicle that goes both on land and water so you get to actually see the city from the rivers, which makes me want to buy a boat (but nope, too expensive).

Alex and I with our "Quackers" They have you Quack on the tour

We sat in the back- I would recommend the back to anyone- you get a better view of the city/river.

The land part of the tour. See, in the front you don't get views like this.

In the water

There were a lot of beautiful views of the city

Monongahela Incline

The other Just Ducky vehicles in the water

How often will you get a view of the submarine with the skyline behind it?
After the Just Ducky tour, we headed to Melting Pot for some grub, and then did a ghost tour of the Monongahela Incline and Mount Washington. We didn't really take pictures there (I think my dad did though). The ghost tour was pretty good- and it was fun to walk around Mount Washington.
Riding on the incline- the flash was too bright so my dad covered his eyes

  1. I liked the Just Ducky tours when I went on it. It's been so long though. I think I was in 7th grade.


    It doesn't look like there was a lot of leg room in the back there.

    1. We all have very long legs, and it was a VERY hot day, so didn't want to touch anyone else?? Mom Thurkins

    2. It was somewhat cramped but also hot (like my mom said). I didn't really mind- they limit the back to 6 people and if the person on the inside of the car sits with their legs inside it works.

    1. Do you want me to delete the pictures you're in? I don't want to post anything you're not ok with.
