Goodman Family Reunion in Seoul: Part 1

Because my parents now live in Seoul they wanted the entire family to experience Korea.  With my brother about to leave for his mission they found this the best opportunity to get everyone together.  We drove up to Seoul for a week then spent a few days down on Geoje.

Bobby and Jill's family arrived first (Chelsea and Thomas came several days later).  We met everyone at Seoul Forest, a lovely park similar to Central Park in New York.  E was thrilled to be out of the car and thrilled to see her cousins!


We loved the fountains.



The next big adventure was to the zoo in Seoul Grand Park.  The zoo was quite large so we only got a glimpse.  We rode the subway to the park which was fun for the kids.  It was also a goal for the trip to try just about every street vendor snack we could.




E thought the flamingo show was hilarious!



The next day was mellow.  Chelsea and Thomas were supposed to arrive the night before but their flight had problems.  We didn't want to do all the fun without them.  We spent some time at a park in Yeouido, an island on the Han river.  From there we had a Costco Korea experience and stocked up on food for everyone.


With kids and jet lagged people we had a bit of down time as well.  Groups would often go to the markets near by while others stayed home with sleeping kids.  E and her cousins were best of friends/worst of enemies this trip but it was great to play together.
