Costa Rica and the East Coast

Our dear pal Mr. Pickle spent most of March 2012 traveling the world with the lovely Dr. Jessica. They traveled from Detroit to Costa Rica, then went on an east coast trip covering New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington DC. WHOAH! He had a wonderful time and spent a lot of time thinking within, while Jessica was surfing and yoga retreating.

 Costa Rica was super hot, even for Mr. P. He tried to stay cool with some aloe.

He spent a lot of time snug in Jessica's backpack as they trecked through beaches and city streets.

So far Mr. Pickle has been to 16 states and 4 countries since we started this project a little over a year ago! He's now got me beat. (I've been to 15 states and 3 countries.) Europe is next up for him!

Do you have a trip coming up that you think Mr. Pickle would enjoy?? 

Check out his itinerary, and email nomadicpickle [at] gmail.com if you want to take him somewhere.

To Philadelphia & D.C. with Miss E

Mr. Pickle had the privilege of traveling to Philadelphia, PA and Washington D.C. from March 30 - April 3 with Elizabeth. He did everything from learning about American history to dancing to running a race! First stop was Philly where Mr. P and Miss E hit the town...

First he had to make it through airport security.

Waiting for the flight to Philly.

Mr. P meets some friends at Reading Terminal Market.

Housemade pickles at Varga Bar.
(I guess you could say Mr. P is also housemade.)

At National Mechanics Bar/Discoteque. Mr. P pumps up the jams!

Enjoying the streetside view at Cake and the Beanstalk. A cute & cozy bakery.

Independence Hall. "Who's been sitting in my chair?"

Mr. Pickle meets the founding fathers! Whoah.

Check out that crack. In the Liberty Bell. Mr. P investigates.

Now to Washington D.C.
Time for a pre-race dinner at Ted's Bulletin. Mr. P and Miss E did not indulge in milkshakes.

Safety first!

Washington Monument! He says hello and waits for the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler.

A pickle in the porta-potty line. Who'd have thunk it. Still waiting for the race. Yes, he ran a race. As part of Team Astronaut Mike Dexter. Even without legs this pickle has pizzazz!

The race is over, the celebrating begins.
It looks like he's wondering where his recovery pudding is. Hmmm.

What an exciting trip, so full of fun things to do!

Check out his itinerary and see if you can fit him into one of your summer trips!
