Florida Photo Scavenger Hunt

Dan, my Mom and I went to Ft. Myers, Florida last week for a little getaway. Prior to the trip, I had seen a fun activity on the Helena's Creative Maven blog. Helena partook in a photo scavenger hunt when she visited Bangkok. She took pictures of people, places and things she found while on her trip. I found her scavenger hunt list here. I thought it would be fun for us as well while in Florida. Here are the photo scavenger hunt items. 

1. benches 2. billboards 3. bridge 4. building for worship 5. doorway 6. feet 7. flag 8. food 9. group of locals relaxing 10. headwear 11. hotel 12. in shop windows 13. local landmark 14. outdoor market 15. person dancing or playing music 16. person in national dress 17. public sculpture 18. public transport 19. skyline 20. tower 21. urban art

Here is what I found...

1. bench



2. billboards


3. bridge


4. building for worship

This was all on the grounds of the Catholic Church of the Ascension

5. doorway

Entrance to the clubhouse in the neighborhood where we stayed. We ate prime rib on Friday for dinner there which was probably our favorite meal!

6. feet

Dog feet. The Hyatt Regency Coconut Point, Bonita Beach, is experimenting with having two newfoundland dogs in house. The dogs have been a hit with hotel guests, especially the kids!

7. flags

at a putt-putt golf course

8. food

Dan found a giant pickle at the flea market!

We found a Dairy Queen on Sanibel Island

9. group of locals relaxing


10. headwear

Mom and me trying to take self pictures on the beach LOL.

11. hotel

Mom and I spent an afternoon at a spa - facial, massage & body scrub, oh, yeah!!
We were smooth as silk afterwards!

12. in shop windows

It was the beginning of October and National Breast Cancer Awareness month.

13. local landmark

The beach, of course!! I was crazy over the seashell beaches, all of them there!
Dan was searching for shells for me.

14. outdoor market

We attended a couple flea markets while there.

I'm so special!

15. person dancing or playing music - didn't find this one

16. person in national dress

Dan and me - LOL!

17. public sculpture


18. public transport


19. skyline


20. tower


21. urban art

Each table top at the Blue Giraffe restaurant on Sanibel Island has different art by local artists.


There were giraffes all throughout the restaurant.

This was really fun and I would do it again on another trip! Thank you, Helena, for this idea!

  2. You really ARE special to have such a fun trip! I know you had a ball and your photos are great. I live in Florida but not right on the beach! It's my favorite thing to do on a day trip....go to the ocean! This was a fun way to share photos! Sweet hugs!

  3. Hello Patty
    Didn't you do well!!!!!!!!!!
    That's a great idea to take on holiday - instead of aimlessly wandering, you had a purpose!
    Great shots and what fun you three had.

    Enjoy your weekend
    hugs
