downtown scavenger hunt

a real estate company put on a 4 hour scavenger hunt that took us all around downtown. we went thinking it was going to be this dinky scavenger hunt to find an intense, well planned, competitive game. it was a blast. natali jolley brought her A game, the boys were good with the divas, and i was the weakest link--or should i say my bowels were the weakest link.

we were given a packet with cropped pictures and clever hints. each team had one digital camera and hopes of placing in the top 3. it was hard and we appreciate all the helpful hints from those we met along the way, natali's sister whitney, my co-worker courtnee and group, and tonya dusold (she was my phone-a-friend choice and her answer came too late, but i think she was right). we played all the way up until the 11:30 pm deadline and had all but one to show.

the places ranged from shops along the skywalk, bars (which was hard since we don't frequent those spots, but interesting to check out), peoples apartments, convenience stores, a dentist office, restaurants and east village stores. it was a great way to check out downtown and find new places to shop, eat or hang out. we will for sure be heading back to east village and farrels sandwich shop in the court district. can't wait til next year--next time we will come prepared. here are our photos:

So I totally heard about this and told Jake we should do it. Of course we didn't. I wish we would of. It sounded so fun and it looks like you guys had fun. Maybe next year.

How did you guys end up doing? Was my friend Kristy right about the blue curtain one?

I've lived in DeMo for ten years and don't know what half of those things are. Well done!

wow. you never post and then, whambam (yep, i said that) there are like five in a row. i'm just asking for some balance michelle. that scavenger hunt thingy sounded way fun. it reminds me of playing fugitive in logtown. i laughed and laughed about you finding kasi at the airport. that is classic kasi too. we were sad we didn't get to see you more-- i got sick at the end too-- (so sorry i never replied to the ole text, i was in bed wanting to die..) remember how i wrote a novel on your blog comments? right now. anyway, it was good to see you for the three seconds i did when you weren't sick. love you!

do you really think of me as your 'high school friend'? (an 'unfunny' one at that) i'm calling a big LAME on that and it's not even lame day.
