This is a photo from Thursday of the girls at the park on the way to the Seoul Global Center.
















Yesterday was my birthday here is Seoul and so we tried to plan a special day. We wanted to go to a museum and then out to dinner. We tried to do the museum early in the day but got a false start. It was pouring rain - monsoon rain - we bought umbrellas and put Olive in the stroller but by the time we got to the corner Olive was soaked - not enough protection from the stroller. So I decided it was better to have Olive walk and use an umbrella to keep her and I dry. But her feet got very wet and so she wanted to take off her shoes. I drew the line there as we were in the middle of Seoul and barefeet seemed dangerous to me. She then melted down and so we retreated back to our little apartment. I think we will try to buy a rain cover for her stroller today.
Later in the day after John had an orientation about the apartment we went out to the Seoul Museum of History. It was cool. There was an amazing tiny model of the entire city and some of it was covered in glass and you could walk on top of it and see the city model below. Kind of gave me a bit of vertigo but very cool nonetheless. Visiting a museum with a 9 year old and 2 year old provided it's own challenges as the needs of the kids are so different. We basically split up, taking one kid each.
