The Korean War Memorial and a trip to the park

On Friday, we went to the Korean War Memorial. Like most things we've seen in Korea, it is immense, thorough, and very well done.

This is just a picture of the city near the War Memorial. Somewhere I read an article about 'Escaping the Concrete Jungle.' It was an article about the mountains and hiking in and around Seoul. It seems very accurate to me since once thing I seem to be missing the most is grass... just plain, green grass. If anyone drives by my home when we get back and sees me just lying in the grass for no reason... well, now you'll understand why. I don't know if I've seen any grass while I've been here.



In the front of the War Memorial. This is just a very small piece of the actual space that Memorial takes up.



This is a ship that they have in the equipment yard. The yard is full of planes, helicopters, tanks, and multiple other things. Some of them you can go inside of, and others you can't. I don't think I have any pictures of Min and Charles from the War Memorial. I'm not sure why but they must have thought there was a contest to see who could sprint through everything the fastest. They pretty much ran nonstop until we got inside.



The only pictures we got with any people in them were of Travis and Henry.

We ate lunch at a little restaurant near the War Memorial. Thankfully, I can swing ordering the food. The restaurant had a table with about 8 older men eating lunch. We thought that it must be like when all the men at home get together for coffee in the morning. Only difference was that these men didn't talk much. They just ate.

After lunch we found this little park for the boys to burn off some steam. Not sure why Charles and Min wanted to even go since they had probably run at least a mile at the Memorial, but they were ever so excited.


Charles and Min did stop long enough for this picture to be taken. Then it was off to the races again. Min did inform me that he didn't want to be a girl (he's the girl in the picture, and if you make the picture bigger he doesn't look very happy either..).

The playground we were at. And, guess what was next to it.... yep, exercise equipment for the adults! I didn't post those pictures but we all had to try them out.
