This weekend was the 2009 Amazing Race Fort Myers Beach, an annual event in its 3rd year. For those of you not too familiar with the Amazing Race, it is a two hour photo scavenger hunt that requires teams of two to make their way around Fort Myers Beach performing sometimes difficult, sometimes hilarious, and sometimes just plain silly tasks. The winner gets nothing but bragging rights and a buzz but it is always a great time and has allotted many of us the opportunity to see parts of the beach we otherwise wouldn’t or just plain don’t take the time to normally appreciate.
Here’s a little sampling of this year’s tasks:
Got Game....play a game at the new arcade.
(As it turns out the new arcade was not open but that didn't stop Sweet Little Baby Doll JT from showing he's got game.)
Motion of the Ocean...Hula hoop out in front of Hooters
Get a Leg Up...Find five people to join one of your teammates in a chorus line-high kicks and all!
And a personal favorite....

And a personal favorite....I like mine "All the Way"...order a hash brown smothered and covered and if they don't have that, enjoy a beer at the Surf Club's new location.
The winner was crowned (that was A & E by the way!), and the party continued at our house with rounds of survivor flippy cup and beer pong. Needless to say this old lady was in bed by 10, and Sunday was spent recovering from an Amazing Amazing Race Fort Myers Beach.
