the lepeaus at namsan

Namsan Tower is a popular tourist attraction in Seoul. We didn't do many touristy things since this was Dave's third trip to Korea-instead we did more kid stuff..oh and we shopped a lot. :) But this was one that was on my list for a specific reason.

Dave was planning on editing this video..but he really won't have time for a couple months, so I hope you don't mind the non-edited version. :)

high fives all around

on the cable car: Dave, Haneul, and Halmoni

our family lock

Psalm 121: the psalm Dave read to me when he proposed

8.24.12 the date Haneul joined our family

So I heard that this tradition first appeared on a Korean drama and since then couples have brought their locks here to "lock their love together forever." Its kinda cute..and when we came to Korea last time we visited Namsan, but I didn't know about the lock tradition till we got up there. I was a little disappointed that Dave and I didn't do one at the time, but now I'm happy that we were able to do it as a family.

a wall of locks-they're really cool to look at

my attempt at a sibling photo.... wah wah..

our lock on the wall, with Seoul in the background

family photo (notice both kids are not smiling. see they were happily running around chasing each other and we made them stop to capture the moment. what horrible parents we are ;) )

annnnddd a fun side note. Meet Simon & Martina, a cute Canadian couple that used to teach English in Korea. Now they make videos and blog about life in Korea full time. One of their video segments is called Wonderful Adventure Now Korea or WANK (this is a perfect title as nonsense English can be found all over Korea) where they take an adventure and have challenges. For me its pretty comical to watch, but I do warn you its not 100% clean so no kids around...but they are cute and I like that they love each other and Korea so much. Anyway, for more info about Namsan, here is their WANK to Namsan.
