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. 

Busan South Korea day 1

Dad took us on a 4 night stay to Busan. Right on the beach! We woke up early and hit the road about 6:30 am and got there 4 hours later. We had to walk around until check in time. It was difficult to restrain the kids from the beach until we could get into our room to change clothes! So, an hour and half before check in time we let them play in dry sand. 

Kids picked snacks for lunch. And we sat for a bit just watching the beach and hanging out. 

As soon as we got to our room, bathing suits were put on! 

The weather was cloudy and dreary, water freezing, but that didn't stop these kids. After the beach we showered off and went for dinner. 

Caden and Carly got hot dog sticks. They were pretty hungry. Mom got a tuna salad, dad a burger and kids shared a plate of chicken spaghetti. After dinner we walked around to explore some more. Girls and dad got ice cream and Caden got cotton candy. 

The first night mom had a terrible headache and once we hit the hotel

Room around 7 pm, mom was out. I missed the awesome light show on the bridge we could see from our room that overlooked the ocean. 

Half marathon training week 4

Last weigh in was 126.4. Goal is 13.1 mile run. 118 pounds. Hopeful in October this will happen but know it won't be over if I don't make that time. 

Carly's chore money

Carly bought her own toy with her own money she earned from chores! She was so excited. 

She chose a my little pony squishy pop! 

Half marathon day 2

Today is day 2 of half marathon training. This time going in, I know as I get into the longer runs, I need to increase my calories and protein. Last year, I had to stop after I reach the 10 mile point due to hair loss. I did figure out that it was from lack of nutrients. I wasn't eating enough to sustain all the miles. I have 10 pounds to lose. And lots of endurance to gain. 

If all goes right, I'll be running 13.1 miles on Oct 23rd. I'm nervous and excited to see the changes that will help me feel better in my skin.  

Bear Tree Park

Today's adventure was to Bear Tree Park! We went with our friend Laura. We know her from Guam and she's leaving Korea in a couple days. Was so fun! 

A park of bears, and trees! But first feeding the fish! 

And then the bears. Baby bears and big bears and you can feed them!

On the way back home Dad found us a place for dinner. It was so good. It pizza/pasta place that also specialized in pork cutlets. 

Moms dinner.

Dad's dinner.

Ms Laura's dinner. 

Food was excellent! 

Dad found!

Mom and kids went grocery shopping after taking a taxi to base and playing at the park for an hour. Dad met us to drive us home and Carly was so excited when she found her Dad at the commissary!
