The above is a quote from CR yesterday. Karen and I are particularly proud of it, because he tends to be fairly picky (and usually not the one you'd ascribe that sentence to) so it seems like our Korean trip has helped push him out of his comfort zone a little. Specifically, it's something he […]
Here are some pictures from the past day! A cool stream downtown Shrine selfie (CR helpfully holding the leaflet with location) At the market HT's reaction to the above Posted with Blogsy
We've had a lot of fun the past couple of days. Yesterday, we visited the other big palace in Seoul, Changdeokgung, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We thought it was actually the cooler of the two. This past day, we walked around a traditional neighborhood and then went to a famous shrine, finishing the day […]
Hi everyone! I'm happy to report that after a major lack of sleep, all of us got at least 9 hours last night and woke up at roughly the right time. That, however, didn't prevent us from having a great first day in Seoul yesterday. Here's what we did. First of all, here's the neighborhood […]
Just a quick post to say we landed and made it safe to our place. We're staying at AirBNBs almost every night we're here. It's a lot cheaper than hotels, and our 3 bedroom apartment we have for 6 nights here in Seoul is a really nice way to make sure we get some sleep. […]
When I've talked with people about this trip, one of the single biggest sources of trepidation tends to be the flight. That's true for me too. Who hasn't been on a flight with miserable kids? What parent hasn't had those kids been theirs (at least a few times)? Like I mentioned in my last post, […]
Hello everyone! It’s been almost 3 years since I posted anything on this blog, but thought this might be a great time to resurrect it since we’re taking another crazy trip. From my point of view, going to Korea will actually be a little tamer than Spain, Portugal, and Morocco with the older two, […]
Hi everyone, This is a few days late, but as you can see from this picture of CR dumped on the curb outside our house, we made it home safe and sound on Thursday. I’ve got a few more posts to put up still, but it’s back to work again tomorrow.
We had a busy day when we crossed over from Morocco to Spain–early morning ferry, run to rental car, quick jaunt to Gibraltar, and finally a mountainous drive to Ronda. With the need to return the rental car in Seville the next afternoon, that meant we had just less than an hour to explore Ronda. […]
For our final full day on Fez, we decided to hire a taxi for the day to go see some nearby sites. The first was Volubilis, the ruins of a Roman colony that was named a World Heritage Site in 1997. The Romans pulled out of Morocco in the 3rd Century AD, but a group […]
