Korea!

Boring view at Houston airport, bright and early in the morning.

Here we are, getting ready to hit the airport....as you can tell from our faces,
 I wasn't lying about it being early lol.

I totally didn't take any pictures on either plane.  Ryker slept from Houston to Chicago (almost the entire time) and was very good on the plane from Chicago to Korea.  (FYI, Chicago is the worst airport in the history of airports.  I'd rather have 6 connections than have 1 there.  Now you know.)  He didn't cry at all on either of the take-offs or landings.  And on the 13 hour Korea flight, the kid beside us kept screaming and he would just stare at him.  It was funny.  And when we were getting off, everyone kept telling me how cute and well behaved he was.  As if I didn't know already....one part of that anyway.

So we go to the airport, customs and immigration took about 2 seconds to get through (I bet we have a harder time getting back into America...).  We met Reagen and were just in time to hope on the army bus thing to go to Yongsan (an army base).  We stayed at Dragon Hill Lodge which is supposed to be some ultra nice hotel on base.  I wouldn't say ultra nice, but it was nice.  The funniest thing about it was the hair dryer.  I'm pretty sure it was one of the first hair dryers ever made.  Reminded me of a vacuum.


Here are the boys hanging out at the hotel.  :)

Here they are taking a nap the next morning while I was getting ready.
(I guess I took to long, haha.)

On the bus ride into Seoul we saw this huge hill and I told Reagen I wanted to go to the top (I was just kidding).  So the day after we got there, he took me to the top!  Actually, we took a cab almost to the top, then walked a very short distance up to the touristy part and observation tower.  The short distance was SSSOOOO steep though.  I couldn't even push the stroller and walk, I had to pawn Ryker off on
Reagen lol.  We had to take a break and pretend we were looking at a little monument (that was written in Korean lol).  But we made it to the top.  And there were super old ladies walking it too, these Koreans are seriously in walking shape.  Anyway, it was really cool. 
Vending machine at Seoul Tower.  It wasn't foggy, my lense fogged up when I took my camera out because it was so humid.

Boys, before we walked up the hill.

Random pictures on the trip up...aka, excuse to stop for a second.


This little thing was the Seoul mascot, or Seoul tower mascot or something.  We had to wait for other people to take pictures by it, then when we started taking pictures, people kept pointing at us.  I'm sure they were like, aaahhhh, foreigners lol.  Ok, probably not....

Here are a bunch of picutres from the observation tower.  It was really, really cool.  What a view!



This picture was taken tooking straight down in the observation tower.


All the Koreans were throwing up peace signs when they got their picture taken, so I made Reagen do it too.

He was trying to make a peace sign, I'm sure.


Picture from the bottom of the hill, while we were waiting on the taxi.


Ryker at the hotel, all tuckered out.
