Seoul day 2 part 2

After our trip to the tower we went back to the hotel and all 3 kids napped for little more than an hour. 

We walked around and found a pizza place for early dinner.

We walked around more. And mom just had to try this poop bread/cake thing that's popular here.

It's a pastry with chocolate in the middle. 

We walked a ton. Stopped at a fortress, stopped at a park on the way back and walked almost 8 miles today! Our kids love walking and are such troopers! 

Carly got a little Korean flag on the way back and got so much attention from it!

Seoul day 2 part 1

Day 2 started off with breakfast. First thing we did was walk to the cable car lift ride at the Seoul tower. The lift took us up a steep small mountain (with an amazing view!) up to the base of the tower. 

At the base of the tower is where you can put a lock, have awesome views of the city and grab some snacks. 

Dad got the kids a popcorn and drink combo with the admission ticket. Great hot and kept them happy and entertained. 

We hung out at the top for a while. Had se snacks and dad got a beer while kiddos played.

We took the cable car back down and walked back to the hotel for a power nap. 

Mini Seoul vacation day 1

We left Saturday morning early by bus to yongsan post. About an hour bus ride. Easy. Once we reached post, the downpour of rain began so we got something to eat and walked around the px before getting a taxi ride to our hotel. Awesome hotel right at the base of Seoul tower!  We hung out until the rain let up and then started exploring! 

The kids got massive tall ice creams comes for only $2 each. 

We walked a ton and decided dinner would be off of various street food vendors. Caden got honey butter corn on the cob.

Dad got meatballs.

Carly and Kayla shared fries. 

Mom got an egg on bread.

We also has treats later. Dad got a rolled up pizza come and girls shared watermelon drink and gimbab rolls. 

Great fun day. We walked a little over 7 miles! 

School soon!

Today mama took her Korean drivers test and passed with only 3 questions missed and 90%. So dad dropped us off at home and took his scooter to work. Boy that is funny! 

So mom and kids went to register Caden for kindergarten and then went school shopping.

School shopping for 2 kids for kinder and 2nd grade cost $115. We forgot 2 items on our list. We got: 2 pencil boxes. 3 folders. 2 binders. Twistable crayons. 2 packs of glue sticks. Colored pencils. 3 packs of erasers. 1 pack of markers. 1 pack water color paint. 1 pack of highlighters. 1 pack of crayons. 5 composition books. 2 spiral notebooks. New outfit for a girl which was a chosen skirt and top. 1 new chosen shirt for the boy- captain America, for the first day. 2 packs of underware. 2 packs of socks. 1 pack of girls cami tops, 1 pair of pants for Kayla, and 1 pair of new shoes for the girl. The boy didn't get new pants or shoes and this was still all $115. 

After all that mom got the kids a pizza to share for lunch and had playtime at the bx food court playground. Not a bad day. 

Busan South Korea day 3

Day 3 started with mom sticking with her half marathon training schedule. 60 minutes of cardio! With beach views!

Then it was breakfast time. Again with beach view! 

We decided it was a good day to check out the subway system and with the help of a Korean lady who spoke zero English, dad figured it out. We took the subway about 5 miles away, about a 10 minute ride to a mall. The day prior we drive over an hour because of traffic to get to it and it was closed. 

Carly fell asleep during the walk to the subway and missed the entire ride and woke up in the mall. 

Kids weren't too trilled on the way there but had more fun on the way back since they got to sit down. 

They had Krispy Kreme doughnuts for a snack at the mall and after we got back it was beach time of course even through drizzles of rain. 

After relaxing for a bit dad went for a run along the entire beach. 

Busan Korea day 2

Day 2 at the beach started with breakfast buffet overlooking the beach! Amazing view and great healthy food for Mom.

Kids loved the endless amount of fresh fruit available. 

After breakfast we changed clothes and spent several hours at the beach. We didn't have any sunshine. It even started to rain a little but that didn't send us off. 

The lifeguards had an exercise right at the spot we were sitting. 

After the beach we had some snacks in our hotel room and had some down time. Carly colored and kids played. 

Then we got some dinner. And walked around. Kids got donuts from a local bakery. 

And we walked around exploring until time to go back to our room.
