Day 6 in Korea was another great day, albeit a little less exciting because we were traveling. I started out the day by picking up our trusty rental car, complete with trusty (English, not Korean!) GPS. After loading up the trunk and three kids in the back, it was off on our 1.5 hour trip […]
We've had a great time in Seoul, and our final day (day 5) was no exception. We started off at a cool Seoul History Museum to see how this place changed from a sleepy little Capitol to a world city bigger than Chicago. Here are the boys posing as important (carried around) people at the […]
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.
