Day 1827 – Anniversary Scavenger Hunt

Yesterday was our five year anniversary and what a fun day it was!!!

I had an idea the day before of going on a scavenger hunt! I asked my wonderful Facebook friends and got some great results!

Here is the list of locations and things I had in mind before I even thought of the scavenger hunt:

  • Dress like cows for free CFA
  • Visit the place where we talked about the future.
  • Broom’s Bloom for cream of crab soup.
  • First Friday’s in Bel Air.
  • TGIFriday’s for endless appetizers.
  • Free Slurpee at 7-Eleven

And here is the crazy list of everything our friends wanted us to find!

  1. Orange flower
  2. Rubber band
  3. Coin from 2009
  4. Priest’s collar
  5. Poison ivy
  6. Justin Bieber concert t-shirt
  7. VHS tape of Bret doing his workout routine

  10. Cold beer
  11. Couple out together
  12. 4 legs
  13. Heart shaped something

  24. Band at First Friday’s dedicate a song to us
  25. Dance to a song not playing
  26. 2 blank VHS tapes at the White Marsh Best Buy
