Seoul Sunday

Seoul Sunday

Sunday morning we woke up and hopped the Subway to Seoul Grand Park to spend the day. There are lots of things to do there including a theme park, a zoo, a rose garden, botanical garden and walking trails. We went to Seoul Land first and walked around there checking out the rides and food. Colin was able to ride a few things with us which was exciting. Shelby took him on his first ever ride, the Zepplin. He seemed to like it and looked all around as the ride went in circles up in the air. Later on I took him on the flying elephant ride and he liked that pretty well too.

After Seoul Land we went to the Zoo and Botanical Garden. The Botanical Garden was having an orchid festival that was incredible. There was every kind of orchid imaginable and they were fabulous! I can see why there are clubs of people obsessed with this flower, they are all so intricate and detailed. I took tons of pictures because they were all do darn pretty! I don't think Shelby (or Colin) were nearly as impressed with the orchids as I was...silly boys! After walking through the botanical garden we wandered the zoo for a bit and then headed back towards the subway station. Colin got a huge mylar balloon that looked like a dolphin that he thought was super fun. Shelby had Colin strapped to his chest in the Jeep carrier and he would hold the balloon out in front of him and Colin would smack his hands on it and make noise and giggle and laugh about it.

We hung around the hotel that night and had dinner at one of the hotel restaurants, more good steak but with crab legs this time...mmmmm how I miss crab legs! Colin has learned what we are doing when we eat and knows that if he makes a scene he will be bribed to behave with what we are eating. He got pieces of cantaloupe from the dessert bar and bread too. He really liked the cantaloupe but wasn't satisfied with the little pieces we were giving him and when we'd give him a large chunk to suck on he'd stuff the whole thing in his mouth. Darn I wish I wouldn't have packed and shipped all the mesh baby feeder things! Oh well.
