Rubber Duckie, You're the (40foot) One!

Rubber Ducky

I mean, like seriously? Who wouldn't want to see a 40 Foot Rubber Ducky just a floatin' in the Hague, near down town Norfolk. Just a hangin' out in Ghent! Something about this big piece of whimsy, just makes you a little warm and fuzzy inside! I think it takes us all back to that inner 3 year old, that still lingers, deep inside! Haha!

Actually, this Rubber Ducky is not a kids toy at all? Mr. Ducky is a world wide traveler having spanned all continents with visits in over 14 cities. The Norfolk stop being the only 2nd US appearance. He's been to Osaka, Hong Kong, Sydney and Amsterdam Well excuuuse me!

I have to admit, it was all surreal. All anyone could do was just stare, and so did he. There were so many people out to see the Rubber Ducky who was parked or "Pond-ed" outside of the newly renovated Chrysler Museum of Art as part of opening week. Perfect marketing idea by the way! The whole seven cities came out! Taking flicks with the oversized fun seeker, while others like ourselves had a little picnics, there was even a magician entertaining the large crowd gathered around the Hague. Walking up to the Ducky was like nothing I have every experienced! Felt very Alice in Wonderland-like for sure, and instantly he made you happy. However I did have a quick flashback to that moment with the giant "Marshmallow Man" in Ghostbusters. (Yeah, I went there) True story people!  None the less... you know we took the opportunity to take our selfies!
