(Mountain Brook, AL) WIAT- The Amazing Race inspired birthday celebration was Ben Weil's big idea for his wife's birthday.
"We are big fans of the show and enjoy watching the teams race around. We didn't have teams this time, it's just one team, and it's local but the stops mean something to me and to her," said Ben Weil.
Three Amazing Race t-shirts were the first surprise this morning for Allison Weil and sons Adam and Aaron. Our cameras caught up with the family Sunday morning, as they were driving around finding clues with a neighbor. Allison Weil didn't expect to see us.
"Yeah there's a tear. What's this like this is overwhelming it's a huge surprise. Huge surprise," said Allison Weil.
There were ten locations and ten clues each leading to the next. To earn clues they faced fun challenges like completing a puzzle and eating blueberry muffins.
"I definitely did not expect this. My wonderful husband planned a lot of surprises evidently and this is the first time in my life I've ever been surprised like this so this is a huge shock," said Allison Weil.
There was one more big surprise in store for Allison Weil. Watch the video for the rest of the story.
