Photo Scavenger Hunt

I had a wild weekend in San Francisco with some wonderfully fun people. We met at Buena Vista Park to begin with birthday festivities. We were surprised with a beautiful bag of goodies: sidewalk chalk, plastic tools for props, silly string, bags of candy, a dunny for a mascot, a pinwheel, play-dough, a disposable camera and a list of things that we needed to find and photograph for our scavenger hunt through the Haight.

 

There were four groups with 3-4 people in each group. Here is Marissa posing in front of a mural that is purple (two challenges in one photo).

 We had to meet a new friend, find out their name, birthday, occupation, and then get a photo of them with our mascot. We decided to jump in the photo just for fun. I loved how Finn's mom was dressed for her first visit to Haight Street! Jenna was so hungry that she kept on eating during the photo.

We were challenged to find a sign and act it out. Jenna is trying to "rent" Marissa for a little companionship.

 I gravitate toward any location that has a photo booth. I was ecstatic when Jenna & Marissa told me they had found one in Wasteland, a second hand clothing store. We spent far too much of our scavenger hunt time in the booth but it was totally worth it. We have 6 strips to scan and share later on!

The girls used pink play-dough and fashioned mustaches for one of the photos. This is my favorite from the day:

 Haight is a playground for tourists, locals, and people just looking for a good time. We had so much fun with the interactive signs.

We had so much fun getting creative with the challenges. I am very inspired and am sure I will be doing something similar for my next birthday.

They are definitely worth a look!
