Mr. Pickle Gets To The Point

Stevens Point, Wisconsin that is. I finally got to take Mr. Pickle on another trip! After Korea and Hawaii, Cort and Yu-Jin stopped in Detroit for a lil visit. I retrieved the pickle from him then. A week later they were reunited with Mr. Pickle as I headed to Stevens Point to visit with them from August 25-29. Ha! (Shall we call them pickle hogs?)  We enjoyed everything from bi bim bop to the beach to the brewery!

 

 After settling in at Cort's abode, we headed downtown to Cafe 27. It was new to me, and it was great! A cozy place, inside and out. We ate outside in a greenhouse. They have plenty of vegan options including this chocolate coconut cupcake! Mr. P helped shoe away flies as I ate it. He also recommends the sweet potato burger. Mmm. 

Mr. Pickle met Sugar Roo at the Portage County Public Library! The tops of the shelves in the Children's Room were lined with stuffed critters, it was so cute in there.

We ventured off to Milwaukee for a day, stopping first at Classic Slice for some pizza. Mr. P played a little Miss Pac-Man and The Simpsons. And yes, he did kindly control himself. While he did that, Cort and I devoured GIANT vegan pizzas.

Mr. P did MKE. On this door on a downtown street.

This is the cutest thing I've ever seen. Mr. Pickle leaped out of my purse to hang with a mushroom.

Someone left this awesome beach house for him!

 

Back in Point, we spent an afternoon downtown. He checked in at The Fox Theater.

Mr. P also checked in at the Tech Lounge.

And he rounded off the afternoon with a delicious Masuman Curry at Green Tea Restaurant. Cort said this dish was addicting, and she was right. Mr. Pickle is still having dreams of this curry.

We totally cheesed it up and took a tour of the Stevens Point Brewery! Kind of neat. He had never been on a beer tour before. He hopped in with some hops.

And at the conclusion of the tour Mr. P was able to taste anything he wanted. He stuck with the root beer, which was awesome. (The tour guide/ bartender asked him if he was similar to Flat Stanley. He choked up a reply of sort of.)

Mr. P had a great time in Wisconsin, and was not attacked by any cheeseheads. 

He's thinking his next trip to Wisconsin will be most exciting.
