D.C. Scavenger Hunt List

Since a lot of people find my blog while looking for helping compiling a list for a D.C. scavenger hunt, I've decided to post the list we used for S.'s birthday. Keep in mind that lots of these are personalized for the birthday girl, so swap out some of these for things/places/people that mean something to the participants. And some are really straightforward, while others definitely require some thought/googling on an iPhone.
