Memorial Day weekend

A got a 4 day weekend so we headed out to see some local sights. Our first stop was Seoul Grand Park followed by 2 nights in Seoul. David and I had visited with a group over a month ago and we brought Daddy with us this time. The zoo remarkable has more than 1 or 2 of each animal. There was an entire herd of giraffes, several tigers and bears, and not knowing what the proper term is - a bunch of kangaroos. We happened to be at the right place at the right time and we got to feed and pet the kangaroos!

In Seoul, we visited Insadong, a cool antique/arts district but that trip was will be remembered mostly by David removing his shoe which we were unable to find even after searching their streets for an hour. Apparently, they clean the street quite frequently (reminiscent of Disney world) and sadly, no one remembers seeing his shoe. We bought another pair that evening. On Sunday, we also toured Gyeongbok Palace. Huge grounds and near the President's House which accounted for the buses of policemen poised at the exit. While we enjoyed all this sight seeing, we decided we need a little down time the next few weekends.
