Any other recommendations on something fun we can do? He's pretty unconventional (duck tour not withstanding, heh).
Rent a kayak on the lake

What the heck is a duck tour and why would anyone call it that?

The DUKW (popularly pronounced "duck") is a six-wheel-drive amphibious truck that was designed by General Motors Corporation during World War II for transporting goods and troops over land and water and for use approaching and crossing beaches in amphibious attacks.



In Boston, the duck tour there uses actual WWII DUKWs.



The Austin tour uses a more modern amphibious vehicle, but still calls it a Duck.
