Inspired by a recent trip to the Ape Caves at Mt St Helen’s, our team name was APES IN CAPES (read the cape). Capes courtesy of K and C. We had the best costumes. Except for MAYBE the rocker family.
It’s a scavenger hunt around the city-—at each clue, you have to get a picture with everyone in your team in it (so no splitting up)
We are smiling because we came in SECOND place out of like 130 teams…Some of the challenges were getting a pic with a cop, mariners fan in a jersey, pyramid in front of the original starbucks with another team, pic with something older than 130 yrs old, jumping pic with a stranger and the whole space needle showing, ETC.
I guess you could say that I've been training for this since I started watching Amazing Race like 7 years ago. We pretended like we didn't care about winning, sortof, but we really did, so coming in second was pretty sweet. And that was ok because the kiddos that won were twin marathon runners. Are you kidding me?
This is probably a lot like winning the amazing race. But we won a hundred dollars instead of a million. And we only got to go to pioneer square instead of Mongolia.

What a substitute for the Great Race! Are you now considering putting together a team to apply to Amazing Grace? I would consider a token contribution to the prize money. --WC
V, here... This is a super SWEET win. All the fun and all the glory...You guys did great . Wish i could have seen you run from place to place. So hard for a big team to work together effectively compared to Twins . Amazing!! (I don' t know how I missed this post. thanks for the patience.
Yes, you definitely Win.
I did not know how you came up with Apes in Capes. I think you could do way better on Amazing Race than that jerk on the Punk Rockers team. No question.
Wish you were here.
