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! 

Caden's 1st day of school

Caden's first day of kindergarten is today! Can't get over he is old enough for this now. He was very excited! 

Moms half marathon training update

Half marathon training week 7 day 3!! Almost half way through this training! Yay me! Fingers crossed I make it past the 10 mile run this time. This humidity in Korea makes it really hard some days. Even though I run indoors on the treadmill...ac here is not like what us Americans are used to and spoiled with. 

Anniversary coming up!

13 years married this month. Went from 15 and 18 year old (kids) dating couple, to engaged 2 years later and married 5 months after at 18 and 21, to 3 kids later. It's been an awesome

Journey that I would not change at all! -

Kayla is 7!

Can't even believe it! 

7 years. 

Our answered prayer. Our first miracle baby. 

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.
