The Wiggen's Travels
Our travels around the world.

We awoke in Yellowstone for our last day in the park.  Deciding to see more of the park we headed out.  Of course we got stuck in a 1 hour bison traffic jam where we did NOT move at all for 20 min and then only moved slightly.  It was great to just sit and […]

Today we toured Yellowstone.   We started with a loop around Grand Loop and saw many geysers and thermal pools.  Of course we made it over to Old Faithful for a noon eruption.  One of those things that I am glad I saw in my lifetime. Later in the afternoon we took a tour of the […]

After a mosquito evening and morning (they were terrible) we headed out to the Grand Tetons.  We had a great day in the National Park to the South. We drove quickly to the town of Jackson (its not Jackson Hole like I thought, that is the whole region, Jackson is the ski town), and had […]

With dad arriving a day later than expected, we found ourselves with a morning in Cody. The morning we prepared for our trip (groceries etc) and stu and I went to the local lake for a swim. During the wait Susan and I got to go on the trolley tour of Cody. You give them […]

After our long day of adventures yesterday, today seems pretty tame.  We drove a lot to get across the mountains into Cody. Devils Tower (notice no ‘) is the first US National Monument.  Its pretty impressive and would be really cool if we were climbers. From there we drove on 90 to route 16 (which […]

This map is for Fred.  So far we have driven 5,511 miles.

A long day indeed. Today we saw as much of South Dakota as we could (and we will see a little more tomorrow).  We started with an early morning walk around Falls Park in Sioux Falls.  I suggest everyone who is ever close come to the falls.  Bring a picnic as well.  Its a great […]

Today we decided to take a travel day.  After not driving for a few days we were missing it and traveled from Fox Lake through Wisconsin, Minnesota and arrived in South Dakota.  While I am sure there are great places north of route 90 in both WI and MN we decided to not spend a […]

Today Susan invited her friends over to her parents house.  We had beer, wine, pizza, and lots of kids.  The weather in the midwest has been unseasonably cool (I had a long sleeve shirt on in the morning), but luckily the weather finally got warm enough to go for boat rides and actually get in […]

Greg and Melissa Karczewski’s Wedding Today was one of our “hub dates” that we planned a lot of this trip around.  Wedding in Chicago.  My old good friend Greg from gradeschool (1st grade on) was getting married. Susan went to Jacob’s baseball game in the morning while I took the train downtown to the wedding.  […]
