Deep Sea Adventure

Mr. Pickle embarked on his first cruise! It was more than a three hour tour as he and the lovely Lana hopped aboard a Disney cruise ship through the Bahamas with her family from May 13-18. Dill was lucky enough to go along for the ride on this island adventure, where they departed from Florida and dove right in. Oh, and they went to Disney World, too!

Side note: Lana was there when Mr. Pickle came to fruition, so they have a bit of a bond going on. 

He met another alligator! How does this pickle run into so many gators?

Mr. P at a beer tasting. The brews were consumed quicker than he could say sweet baby dill.

Admiring the lovely Chihuly chandelier! This pickle's got taste.

As always, Mr. P makes friends. This time with an elephant. Made from a towel.

No trip to Disney is complete without meeting Mickey and Minnie! Mr. Pickle was kind of starstruck.

And speaking of starstruck! It's Cinderella! Due to a long wait and high security, all Mr. P could do was snap this shot while in the presence of the princess.

Mr. P chillaxes at the pool. (He really is a proficient swimmer, I swear.)

Another towel friend for Mr. P to meet! It's a... jellyfish? Ghost? Chef? Muppet outcast?

Ah, a serene window-side view. His favorite.

Mr. Pickle! What's this? Yes, he tried on a pretty Minnie dress. This dress did NOT come home with him, nor will I be packing it in his suitcase for his next trip! 

Speaking of... 

Where are you taking him next? He needs to get to all 50 states!

Check out his itinerary, he's got so much summer time open! Holler if you want him to join you on a trip.  

Aloha Mr. Pickle

After their Korea trip, Mr. P stayed on with Cortney and Yu-Jin as they headed straight to Hawaii for a honeymoon! From August 8-15 they were nice enough to take Mr. Pickle along as they traveled the islands and enjoyed beaches, walks, sunburns, and many fruity beverages. Warning: This looks even more like paradise when written on a chilly, rainy day in Michigan.

 His first fruity drink (Passionfruit!) on the island of Kauai, which is where they spent most of their time.

 Trying to avoid a sunburn on his first beachy day. He wore SPF 45 and a sunhat.

 Mmmmm. Coconut. One of many fruity drinks.

 Hanalei Valley Lookout, on the edge of paradise off Highway 56.

 Mr. Pickle is LOVING this fantastic scenery. 

 Sun time, fun time. Ouch, that rock is hot.

 You put the pickle in the coconut...

 More fun times, Kauai style.

 Mount Wai'ale'ale, one of the wettest spot on earth. The 2nd highest point on the island of Kauai.

 Mr. P makes a friend! This peacock is much less daunting than the alligator he met in Louisiana Cajun Country. 

 Snorkeling at Tunnels Beach. Um, guys, these flippers are a tad big for Mr. P.

Another yumtastic fruity drink! At Tunnels Beach.

Mr. Pickle and a starfruit. This made the song Star Fruit Surf Rider by Cornelius get stuck in his head.

Totally digging a visit to a Dole Plantation on the island of Oahu!

 

Mr. P is not vegan, but he enjoys tasty desserts of all kinds. So this yummy raw chocolate pie hit the spot. Then he craved a fruity drink to wash it down. Go figure!

Beach time for Mr. P, Oahu style. He avoided sunburn! His straw hat came in handy. 

Mr. Pickle had so much lazy fun in Hawaii. He could sure get used to that lifestyle. Cortney and Yu-Jin left Hawaii and flew into Detroit. They later handed the pickle back over to me before heading home to small town Wisconsin. The word Wisconsin piqued his interest... Stay tuned to find out what we did about that!
