Goodman Family Reunion in Seoul/Geoje: Part 3

Sunday evening we made our way down to our island (Geoje) for a few days.  We look Chelsea and Thomas with us and the others would arrive the next day.  It was a great chance for us to be with Chelsea and Thomas alone for a bit.

Ben had to work on Monday so the rest of us decided to go to one of our favorite beaches, Gujora Beach.  E was in heaven with Thomas digging big holes for her and taking her out into the water.  I was in heaven to have 2 fantastic 'babysitters' while I sat and did nothing all morning!  Now every time we go to the beach E always asks if her family friends are coming too.


That afternoon Chelsea and Thomas walked around the boardwalk and played with the starfish.  That evening we went to dinner at one of our favorites, The Turkish House.  (Yes, Turkish food in Korea).



The next day, after everyone arrived, we took a ferry to a nearby island called Oedo.  The owners of this island have made it into a beautiful botanical garden.  It was the first time we've been and were not disappointed!  That afternoon Ben took the boys on a strenuous 15-mile mountain bike ride while the girls and kids napped!





That night we went to one of our favorite Korean restaurants, The Dino Meat Grill.  It is what is sounds like...an all-you-can-eat, grill your own, Korean BBQ meat place.  Everyone loves the authentic sit on the floor arrangement!


Everyone was leaving the following afternoon so we took advantage of the beach one more time.  Again, great to have such good helpers and playmates at the beach.



We feel so lucky to have had the entire Goodman gang here in Korea.  We have such good families and treasure the time we get to spend together!
