Mr. Beimers Goes to Washington

Hey kids! Here's another roadtrip.beimers.com super fun contest for ya! We know how much you kiddies love contests! Here's how this one works...

Kev went and bought himself a super big, super dumb hat for his trip through Washington D.C. The problem was, his hat was so super big that it got in the way of all the major sites of the city! Oh friggin' no!

Here's your task: figure out where Kevin is by the stuff behind his super big hat. Careful: some are tricky... and some might be doubled up! The first person to get all nine of them correct (Number 1 is the big one above) gets a kick ass prize in the mail! The first person to get all nine and the Bonus Question gets an even bigger kick ass prize!

Yankee Doodle Dandy! Enter as fast as you can!

I was just looking at the pics of you in that crazy Yankee hat and I laughed and thought of a really cool pic. I think you should pose in the hat and your yank swim trunks and a pair of bowling socks in front of like Dollywood or Graceland or some crap like that!

Well do I have the inside information on this one. I just happen to know that you guys are in Duluth and what is the most important edifice in Duluth? The one we head to first? Well its the Red Lobster. Its got to be that. and when I saw the pool in the background, well that just confirmed it. I'm not sure what the phallic symbol represents but they never seem to run out of lobsters. Do lobsters have nipples? I'll have to look that up but how would baby lobsters get their milk?
Take care.

Holy Frickin' Frack!! (I can't get you saying out of my head. Thanks EVER so much.)
Did anyone else get the right answers after us or are we, like, trivial info gurus? Actually, We spent a good three hours searching for that blasted answer #3.
Donnie proudly proclaimed to me in front of a very surprised and puzzled neighbour "ITS WASHINGTON'S NIPPLE!" Her reaction was exactly what he wanted.
...
I'm intrigued as to what the Kick-ass, wonderful prize is, although I'm pretty sure it's the super big HAT.
Waiting with bated breath,
- Karen (winner of the contest), Nepean ON
