Going Back to Cali... For the First Time

Mr. Pickle's traveling pal Elizabeth was headed to the west coast, and he couldn't pass up the opportunity! He started his 2012 travels by joining her for a birthday weekend of January 13-17 for some fun and sun in San Diego, California and surrounding areas. He almost made it to Mexico!

 Mr. Pickle enjoys the Tijuana Estuary. That's Mexico behind him!

Enjoying some sun, but... Look out below! 

Stopping to smell the flowers at the botanical gardens at Balboa Park. 

Enjoying foliage at the botanical gardens requires caffeine. What can I say... Bean up, little pickle!

 Mr. P meets the founders at Balboa Park in San Diego. 

Enjoying hiding in the pickle weed at Imperial Beach. This pickles LOVES his beaches.

On the hunt for Gulls at Imperial Beach! 

Pizza breakfast at Leucadia Farmer's Market. Where Miss E says the coffee was adequate and the pizza was amazing. I'm sure Mr. P would agree, he's a bit of a foodie. (In more ways than one!) 

 He meets some blood oranges at the Leucadia Farmer's Market. Mmmmm, those look tasty.

Overall, Mr. Dill Pickle had a fabulous time on the west coast with Miss E. It was a perfect way to start this year's travels, and he looks forward to heading to Vegas next week!
