We dropped Ruthie and Charlie at the airport this afternoon after a great adventure/visit, not at all relaxing, vacation! I will have to post the events of our trip in parts, because there is so much to say! For now, I will leave you with the summary, table of contents if you will, of their trip to South Korea:
Day 1, Saturday: Pick up from Incheon International Airport, drove home and had dinner and relaxed (little did we know that might be the last time we "relaxed"...)
Day 2, Sunday: A stroll around Anjung-ri; R&C's first Korean meal for lunch--Korean BBQ! Play time with Cookie and a movie at home
Day 3, Monday: Skype video chat with the Fowlers; Tour of Pyeongtaek-- Farmer's market, AK Plaza, Train station; Pizza night
Day 4, Tuesday: Dr. Fish "pedicures," souveneir shopping in Songtan, coffee at a Brazilian place, Dinner at White House (Chris' favorite restaurant)-- Bulgogi
Day 5, Wednesday: Seoul for the day-- Two Palaces, One Temple, Lunch in a traditional Korean home
Day 6, Thursday: Busan for the day-- ride on the bullet train, temple, fortress wall, gimbap for dinner
Day 7, Friday: Seoul again-- Buddha's birthday, temple celebration, Insadong for tea and souveneirs, Chris met up with us (YAY!) and we attempted the Seoul tower cable car, then dinner at a fantastic new place Chris discovered in Seoul Station
Day 8, Saturday: DMZ Tour-- all day amazing learning experience
Day 9, Sunday: Chris made breakfast! Then lunch and good byes at the airport...
I didn't think we could do it, but we packed so much into the few days we had! It was a marathon, but it was so much fun! I wish Chris could have had more time with us, but duty calls....literally. More stories and photos over the next few days.
Thanks all for reading!
