The Amazing Race: London Style!

On the 13th, Brooklyn and I participated in the amazing race through Big Brothers Big Sisters. To be honest, I had no idea what I was signing up for because I have never seen the show but it turned out to be an amazing amount of fun! We were given a clue to start that would lead us to the next spot where there was another clue etc. We were running (literally sprinting) around the downtown to different destinations trying to make it there first. Some of the places that were hinted at were marble slab, city hall, Aroma restaurant, Covent Garden Market, Vic park, Museum London. There was a lot of back & forth since the destinations were in no way in line, but good thing I know the dt well, because most of the clues were easy! 

 This is Brooklyn at one of out "road blocks"... I guess this is in the show as well. One of the team members has to complete a task to proceed with the next clue. Here Brooklyn had to balance a potato on a spoon around the picnic tables at the Covent Garden Market.

And here we are at the end after having run all over dt all morning! We ended at Harris park by the agency building, had to build a balloon bouquet, then return to the agency three-legged. 

A good way to spend a Saturday morning!
