Our Own Amazing Race...

Last summer when we visited Croatia, we tried to think of something special to do for the kids while celebrating Andrew’s 14th birthday. We came up with the idea of doing an adventure race in the historic city of Split fashioned after the TV show Amazing Race. We had a blast spending half a day roaming around Split designing the tasks that we’d assign the kids. Jimmy explained the concept to the kids and their parents before we departed the Nikola.

We split them into three groups, trying to balance age and speed with the rule that the team is only as fast as its slowest player. Each team was also assigned one adult as their videographer. The birthday boy was with Ashlynn and Ariana in Team Dalmatia.

Team Diocletian was David, Veronica and Carla with Olivia along as Carla’s German translator.

And ironically, the all boy team of Hagan, Max and Julius was Team Venus.
