The Wiggen's Travels
Our travels around the world.

We awoke to another beautiful day, although it was once again a travel day.  After organizing the RV we went to Big Boy with Barry, Ann, Anthony, Roger, Titus, and Brenna.  It was one of Susan’s wishes for the trip (the Big Boy experience).  While we really enjoyed the company and had fun making faces […]

Wine Tasting Time — North West Michigan Style. Today we checked out the competition by going wine tasting.  Barry graciously offered to drive so we set out to see what fine wines MI had to offer.  We had a great day bumping around vinyards (the weather was perfect as well).  As a special treat at […]

Today we got to get a tour of Lind Enterprises.  Barry Lind started Xythos with me many many years ago, and has since left California (for Manistee) and is leaving Xythos at the end of July.  Today, Susan and I got to see what he is going to do with all his new found time […]

Waking up in Columbus did not have much to offer.  We simply got some coffee for Susan and gas for the truck and headed out to Michigan. Michigan is not as open as SF with its dog friendliness.  We wanted to stop at two places on lake MI to swim, but instead we had to […]

It was a slow moving morning with Stuart taking a number of dips in the Samuel Pond.  We enjoyed the one bedroom apartment we were staying in some more and did our laundry etc.  After some sad goodbyes we headed North.  We said goodbye to I-40 for the last time and headed through parts of […]

Today we stayed with the Samuel’s and had a great day of hanging out.  We went to see areas of Duke campus (which is quite beautiful) and ate downtown Durham (where you can see that American Tobacco still is OK).  After a dip in the pool we went to a nice dinner followed by sitting […]

Today we spent hanging with the Samuel clan.  After a BBQ lunch we all headed to the pool for some relaxing (well as relaxing as playing with 4 kids and 3 dogs is).  Tyson also had a surprise 17th b-day party in the early evening.  A great day for all to enjoy the sun and […]

Today we took our last drive East.  We woke up having listened to the rain on the roof all nice (which was relaxing) to a wet morning.  We took our time and headed to see Dave and Jeanine in Durham NC.  Instead of blindly following I-40 the whole way there, we took our trip through […]

Today was a long day of driving, but we saw lots of fun stuff.  We awoke early (as we knew of our long drive) and quickly hit the road.  The two hour drive to Memphis left us on the steps of Graceland.  For 2+ hours we roamed the exhibits there.  Saw the planes, the cars, […]
