Holiday in Pictures

We're back from our lovely little holiday to Seoul. We had a great time. The weather was cool, the food good, and the culture amazing. We had a really leisurely time of walking through traditional markets, sleeping in and touring some sites. Here is our holiday in pictures. I will post the candid and the family shots here, but be sure to check out David's blog for other great photos and descriptions of each day.

Cate and I on the high speed train, the KTX. It took 1 hour and 40 minutes to get to Seoul.

We brought along our travel playpen (which Cate sleeps in all the time) and put it in the front entrance part of our hotel room. We thought she was going to bed, when she suddenly popped up and was waving at us through the screen.

We found a great little restaurant right near our hotel.

Cate decided to unpack all of her toys and books from the suitcase.

Here's Cate meeting a little Korean boy the same age as she. Aren't they cute?

The second day we were in Seoul we went to Gyeongbukgung Palace. It was beautiful! We even went back a second time. Here is the oh- so- cute Cate.

Me, forever trying to figure out where we are and what we are looking at.

Cute little kiddies in front of a palace building.

In front of a perfect little pond.

I love this picture.

Who's this guy?

Aww. Cate was so tired that she fell asleep sitting up in David's arms. He is holding her head up.

One night we decided to try out a fancier restaurant, even though we had the little one. She insisted upon drinking our water out of wine glasses, and eating our meal instead of the convenient one that I packed for her, but it was still a good time. Here she is just owning the place.

The same night we took Cate out on the town past her bedtime. That didn't go so great, but we did manage to take a cute picture.

In front of the palace. It was nearly impossible to get the tips of the
building and all of us in the same picture. It was huge!

Cool view on a rainy day.

My love.

It's back to school for me on Monday. It'll be hard to be away from Cate again.It's been so nice to spend so many days with her. But we only have 6 months to go! This week will officially mark the half way point of our time here, which is completely insane. We also just received confirmation from David's parents that they are coming to visit us at the end of September. We are thrilled!

Hope you enjoyed this gigantic photo album of our week away.
