This has been an incredible visit. It was such a joy to watch my kids and my nephews play with each other and have so much fun together.  My last visit to Korea was 7 years ago and I don’t know when we’ll come back again… hopefully not too later. I’m so glad we got to build so many great memories… taking a family roadtrip to the countryside, going to the beach, and experience clam digging was one of the best parts of the trip.

Chloe had a several playdates and sleepovers at my brother’s house and she really did not want to go back to the States. She was bawling on the plane back to the States and when we landed she was sobbing again, asking me if we can go back to Korea. 🙁

I’m very happy and proud that the kids learned to speak Korean. Actually they’re mixing it up with English so I should really say that they speak Konglish now.

Thank you so much for the amazing time… We’ll miss all of you so much…

While my mom was cooking up the storm at home, we also ate out a lot. Can’t believe all the food we ate…

Kids really enjoyed eating all kinds of Korean fruits and their favorite were these white peaches. It’s none like how they taste in US. They are so so juicy and even sweeter than honey.

Cable car ride to Nam San tower.

This was one of my destinations I wanted to take my kids to see. My dad used to take my brother and I when we were kids to get some exercises on Sunday mornings before church.

It’s quite an exercise!

Today, we visited gyeong bok gung, a royal palace located in Seoul. First constructed in 1394 and reconstructed in 1867, it was the main and largest palace of the Five Grand Palaces built by the Joseon Dynasty. The name of the palace, Gyeongbokgung, translates in English as “Palace of Shining Happiness.”
