South Korea

I flew back home from Chicago on a Monday morning and spent the week preparing for my next trip to visit my sister {Morgan} and brother in law {Wes} in Dongducheon, South Korea. Wes is stationed there for 2 years, and well, I just couldn't go that long without seeing my sister! So the following Monday, I boarded what seemed like the longest plane ride of my life {2.5 hours to San Francisco and 12 hours to Seoul} to experience the culture shock of a lifetime. I definitely wasn't in Texas anymore!


.... and I'm going to be honest, there's no way I would have any desire to visit South Korea except for the fact that my sister lived there.


Anyway, my sister posted a lot of the pics from the trip on her blog, but I will add some of my favorites from the various places we visited:

My sister and I in Itaewon

Shopping in Myeongdong

We saw the show "Nanta." I was pulled up on stage for the first time in my life! It was SO much fun. 

Fish pedicure in Gangnam. It tickled sooo much! 

Morgan & Wes

We stopped at a batting cage on the way home from Osan. Yes, we match. TOTALLY unplanned. 

 The boys: Wes, Mike, and Adam

This is what my sister and I did 90% of the trip... shopped

I was a wreck leaving my sister. I think I cried the first 2.5 hours of the plane ride home! If I am still on my  'post graduate school not ready to enter the real world tour of the globe' {as my sister so fondly calls it} in Sept/Oct of next year, then I will definitely be going back!
