Chapter 22 - Fun in Sioux Falls, SD

-



Hi again, it's Tammy with a new travel adventure!

On June 16, 2023, we left on a quick weekend road trip to Sioux Falls, South Dakota with Corp's cousin Brady and his girlfriend Taylor.  

The sole purpose of our trip was to go to the closest Ross's Dress for Less store to Minnesota.  Taylor loves their home decor department for accessorizing her house flips.  We returned home to find out St. Cloud is getting a Ross's in the next few months.  LOL

Sioux Falls is named after the Sioux Falls that run through the Downtown area.  Stunning falls!  One of my favorite waterfalls!

There are many sculptures in Sioux Falls and they are always really cool.

Fun flying pig sculpture.



Corp couldn't resist.....roar!

Ostrich pose!

Their Downtown has lots of places to eat and drink.  Between stops we came across a fun interactive weight and leverage experiment.  

You pull a rope and lift a car.

The trip wouldn't be complete without a chess game with super large pieces.  In case your wondering, Corp won after a good match.  Just in time before the rain started. 


 
Adios for now....hope you enjoyed a short Chapter 22!

Corp (Crabby) and Tammy (Chipper)

Welcome to Chapter 39 of Crabby & Chipper Travels! After a fall spent cutting, splitting, and stacking 43 cords of wood with my mom (yes, forty-three),  it was definitely time for a getaway. So on November 3 , we packed up for a last-minute six-week trip to Vietnam. Since we were staying more than 30 days, we both needed an  e-visa. What a challenging process!  Vietna m really makes you work for that stamp. But they were finally got approved the morning we left, so we felt a huge sigh of relief when we left home.   The Journey to Hanoi From our front door to our hotel in Hanoi: almost  37 hours with  two layovers (San Francisco and Taipei, Taiwan).  Our very first impression when driving to our hotel?   Scooters. SO MANY SCOOTERS. Hanoi has over 9 million people and about 7 million motorbikes , and I’m convinced we saw all of them within the first hour.  In some places, they even have  their own  traffic lane....

Starting our hike in the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. Welcome to Chapter 36 of Crabby & Chipper Travels ! On March 6, 2025 , we jetted off to Las Vegas for a six-day adventure to celebrate our friend Justin’s 50th birthday —plus squeeze in some time with Corp’s cousin Dave and family. We kicked things off with a two night stay at the Golden Nugget —Justin’s pick.  We were excited to give him his birthday gift - LED-lit, flashing dollar sign sunglasses. He wore them proudly!  We quickly learned how to play electronic blackjack on the bar and were able to get some free drinks along the way.  At the stroke of midnight, Justin made a last-minute bet: $100 on red at the roulette table—and he won! They were both all smiles after the roulette win! Although it was too cold for a swim, the Golden Nugget’s pool area was still fun to check out thanks to its giant aquarium full of sharks . The Fremont Street Experience lived up to the hype with its neon light...

Chapter 38 - Broadway, Cheesecake, and Comedy in NYC

Greetings from the Big Apple! Welcome to Chapter 38 of  Crabby & Chipper Travels ! On July 29, we headed out on a last-minute 8-night trip to New York City—one of our favorite destinations in the U.S. 7/29 – Arrival + Comedy Club We landed in New York and checked into our tiny Pod 39 hotel room—cozy would be a generous description.  Our room was 149 sq. ft. in size.  Just enough space for a queen size bed, desk and private bathroom. The room might have been tiny, but the bedroom window had a view of the Chrysler Building. And the bathroom window had a view of the Empire State Building. It was a sweltering 99 degrees, but we didn’t let that stop us. That night, we caught our very first NY comedy show at the New York Comedy Club.  We were able to get tickets at the last minute.  The headliner wasn’t Corp’s favorite..too much crowd work. 7/30 – Central Park + Murray Hill We spent the morning walking through Central Park. From a planning and design perspective...
