Scavenger Hunt Antics

If you attended my wedding you know two things about me. I have never been one for tradition (what? no cake?) and I like to play a game called Photo Scavenger Hunt. It’s simple. One camera. One list of things to take pictures of within a certain time frame. At the wedding every table got a camera and a challenge to take pics of various people and things (like the head chef in the kitchen). That way I didn’t get a bunch of butt pictures! This time the time frame was simply “while on vacation” and I cheated. I had two cameras.
But, that’s beside the point. Here’s the list:

From the Plane:

• puffy white clouds (piece of cake)
• the desert
• a mountain, any mountain

Las Vegas:

• View from the hotel
• A live flamingo
• some sign or plaque of Benjamin Siegel
• an outdoor slot machine
• a living statue
• “money”

Long Beach:

• view from the hotel
• a brown pelican
• the Pacific ocean/ some seaweed
• Kisa’s great aunt
• a cactus

San Diego:

• view from the hotel
• a palm tree
• a gorilla
• my cousin’s flowers
• proof for Ruby I wore “the dress”
• someone’s feet
• a bow tie

Ontario:

• View from hotel room
• something related to the Closer
• a sunset
• someone in the pool
• the elusive cousins

I got nearly all the pictures I wanted. Here’s the set. I didn’t find the outdoor slot machine (big surprise) and the gorillas at the San Diego zoo had gone in for the day. I forgot all about a bow tie. I found something Closer related on the first day which was huge because I never made it to L.A. Also, I found three different Chipotles so that was a nice bonus. I even got everyone together for the dreaded cousin picture. Grand total: 859 pics on one camera; 362 pictures on another… 87 on a seperate memory card. 1,308 pictures.
